LaPlata boys and Marion County girls claim top spots.

The boys' third place game was a rematch between Schuyler County and Brashear. The last time these two teams met, it took an overtime to settle things with Brashear coming out on top. In this game, Schuyler County jumped out to a 15-11 first quarter lead and led 29-27 at halftime. The game was knotted at 43 all after 3 quarters of play and seemed to be anybody's game. As the clock wound down in the 4th, Brashear held a 3 point lead until Schuyler sank a 3 pointer with only a few seconds left to send the game into overtime. The overtime period was all Schuyler County as they outscored Brashear 15-5 to claim 3rd place by a score of 72-62.
