In the boys’ game, South used their speed and quickness to overwhelm the Red Raiders in the first quarter and build a 16 to 5 lead. From that point on, the Red Raiders outscored the Trojans in every quarter, cutting the deficit to 2 points with 8 seconds remaining. South was able to hit a pair of free throws to ice the game and stall the miraculous Coffee County comeback. Dayne Crosslin led the Raiders in scoring with 10 points as he was named the Crazy Daisies player of the game award. Hayden Garr added 8 points and Jacob Holder and Jackson Shemwell each finished with 6 points.
