<p>In a game where we saw [player_tooltip player_id='2324785' first='Bryson' last='Childers'] have a career performance, the GBC squad still prevailed despite taking every punch Calvary could dish out. The game started as fast as anticipated with a [player_tooltip player_id='2457787' first='Matthew' last='DeGroff'] runner over a GBC defender. Quickly [player_tooltip player_id='2241522' first='Drew' last='Fitzwater'] plays rim runner and does an amazing job making an athletic play with a catch and no dribble fast break finish. Meanwhile still in the first quarter, Childers made two great moves from the post scoring on both. [player_tooltip player_id='2425396' first='Jovante' last='Spencer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2241525' first='Averyk' last='Woodson'] both got in on the scoring early as well as Calvary's [player_tooltip player_id='2449682' first='Owen' last='Good']. </p>

<p>This game was back and forth with everything you'd expect form a championship game with two teams playing at a high level. So many talented players and good storylines here to mention.

While [player_tooltip player_id='2425396' first='Jovante' last='Spencer'] had a solid night going 5-8 from the field with 14 points. </p>
