Rainier made the first point by a free throw. Vernonia made the next score with a basket, making the score 1 to 2. At the end of the first half the score was 12 to 13 in Vernonia’s favor. Hoffman took Whitsells place at the beginning of the last quarter. Both teams played desperately during the last quarter and when time was called the score was Rainier, 22; Vernonia, 27.
