Dupont Manuel avenged an earlier loss to Moore and the runners-up of the 25th district knocks off a higher and district champion of the 26th.

With this loss, both teams from the 26th district are gone from the tournament.

The point guard Samsel was injured and didn't play the first time these teams met. Since his return Manual has really jelled as a team.

Nicolic carried the team in the first half of this game while Samsel sat on the bench in foul trouble. Opening the 3rd quarter Samsel hits two three's and then penetrates the lane and kicks it out to Mithcel for another 3 for a 9-0 run. Samsel scored 12 points in the quarter and had many assists. I can see why he has signed to play for D2 powerhouse Findlay next year. If he was taller he would be playing at the D1 level.
