The Huskies came out red hot to start the game led 16-2 after the first seven minutes of the game. Todd Schweitzer (McKees Rocks/Montour) was the go-to guy for the Huskies in the run hitting three, three-pointers and two free throws for 11 of the Huskies 16 points.
Clarion, though, battled back and took a 22-19 lead with the help of 20-3 run of its own with Vaughns scoring 11 of the 20 points for the Golden Eagles, including three, three-pointers of his own.
Tied at 28-all at halftime, the Golden Eagles came out and grabbed a 41-36 lead on a jumper by Lee Church with 13:48 to go in the game. The Huskies then put the clamps on defensively and held Clarion scoreless of the next seven minutes of play. In the meantime, a couple of free throws from Jason Benson (Pittsburgh/Schenely) made it 41-38 in favor of Clarion. Then Brian Holsey (Philadelphia/JR Masterman) put back a missed jumper to tie the game before John Owens hit a jumper and Ryan Nenstiel (Nuremburg/Weatherly) a three to give Bloomsburg a 45-41 lead with 7:19 to play. Clarion finally broke its scoreless streak when Ryan Wells scored a layuup with 6:58 to play.
