Both teams made some strong plays early on, helping their teams to tie it up at 18 after the first quarter. Second quarter, Indian Land was able to turn it up a notch, with '26 Mike Jones creating and getting to the basket, and others plays scrappy on both ends. Indian Land's impressive play on both ends helped them turn a tie game into a 14-point lead by halftime, 40-26.
Indian Land continued to play with tremendous intensity, as the guard play continued to play extremely well. Concord was able to make a small run towards the end to cut it to 11 points but '24 Sincere Rasul hit a buzzer-beater three at the end of the third to go up 14 points. Fourth quarter was much of the game, as Indian Land was able to completely control the game after the first quarter. Their energy and play helped secure a very impressive win against Concord Academy at the Carmel MLK.
