In the final game of the night on Day 1, Panther Creek was looking to make a big splash as they welcomed Camden from New Jersey.' Camden came out strong to take a 14-7 first-quarter lead, really showcasing their size and talent early on. But credit to Panther Creek as they continued to battle behind the play of their veterans Amari Richardson and Caleb Surgers.' Panthers Creek was able to stay within striking distance for most of the first half, but Camden had a few high-flying throwdowns to get the crowd into, while 2023 Aaron Bradshaw was going to work in the paint.' That duo helped Camden earn a 32-20 halftime lead.

Second half was much like the first half, as the talent was just too much for Camden. They were able to use this size and athleticism again to increase their lead even more and eventually put this game away midway through fourth quarter.  Credit though to Panther Creek, as they continued to play hard until the final buzzer, but there was just too much talent. Camden ended up earning a solid Day 1 victory to end the night, 67-48.
