St. Joe led 113 at the half, but came back strong in the second period and closed up the the gap to two points. With the score standing 15-13, both fought desperately to score and just before the game ended, Coffee of St. Joe, looped in a long shot that ended the scoring. Three minutes elapsed in the high school game before Wemhoff started the scoring with a short field goal. Theric, of Vincennes, evened the score with a field goal, but Wemhoff gave his team the lead again with another field goal, Vincennes took time out.
