Knox Central tied the game for a second time a minute late but trailed 37-36 at the half.
Just ten seconds into the second half Knox Central Nate Cole put the Panthers ahead 38-37 for their first lead of the game. A 15-2 run in the opening five minutes of the half put Fern Creek back ahead by ten points. Matthew Barger scored seven points as part of an 11-1 run by Knox Central that sent the game into the fourth quarter tied at 55-55. Anthony Wales' basket in the opening minute of the final quarter gave Fern Creek the lead for good.
