Chester's bench played the majority of the 2nd quarter with Donald Hodges leading the way with 3 points. Larry Yarbray Jr. and Jordan Camper each added 2 points and the Clippers took a 26-22 edge into intermission. A put-back by Sudan and a trey from Marquis Collins gave the Clipper a 5-0 start to the 3rd, a foul shot by the Bulls and the score now read Chester - 31, Glen Mills - 23 at the 4:57 mark. After a couple buckets by the Battlin' Bulls and the Clippers would call a time-out to settle things down with the clock showing 3:18 and a 31-27 score. A 7-0 Chester run over the next 1:40 started by reserve Jamal Jones who would score an old fashioned three pointer and the Clippers lead was now 38-27.
