Game Summary

If you have witnessed any prior match-up between the OGs and the Bennington Martens, there are a few things you have come to expect, and this game was clearly no different. The first thing is that it will be a long drawn-out, action-filled battle.

The second thing is that don't judge the winner by who is leading, as the lead will change like the wind throughout the entire game. You can expect to go home with a strained voice, saying "What a game", and no one can predict the outcome as the game will be won within the very last few seconds, not minutes on the scoreboard.

Throughout Sunday's entire game, the lead changed multiple times within the quarter and it absolutely was not decided until seconds remained on the board. In the end, the Martens edged by with a single-point victory of 112 to 111.

We congratulate the Martens on an outstanding game and are looking forward to a later rematch this season.
