The game was close until the end. After the Rams took a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter, Yellow Springs responded with a 9–0 run to win.
After playing the late Friday night game against Dayton Christian, the Bulldogs had to be back on the bus at 10 a.m. Saturday morning, Dec. 21, for a game in Ansonia, Principal Jack Hatert’s alma mater.
The Bulldogs came out flat, and Ansonia made a season-high eight three pointers.
Yellow Springs was down 15 points with five minutes left in the game, but they made a great comeback to put the game into overtime and win 39–37.
