With four players picking up three fouls in the first half, the Vikings had trouble getting into an offensive flow to start the game.

The Vikings trailed 35-25 with 1:47 to play in the third quarter before another 8-0 Eagleville run gave the Eagles a 43-25 lead heading to the final quarter.
With Jacob Flannagan scoring six points and Cole Crockett adding four, the Vikings scored the first nine points of the quarter and cut the Eagle lead to 43-34 with 4:17 left.
A three-pointer by Corey Paterick put the Vikings within six at 45-39 with 1:51 to play, but Community could not get closer as the Eagles scored the final five points to stretch their winning margin.
