The boys won by the score of 70-57. In the boy’s game Green River went up 24-8 after the first quarter and then held on for the victory as Whitehorse would not go away in this game despite being down by sixteen points at the end of that quarter. Green River extended the lead in the second quarter by one but then lost the third quarter by one before Whitehorse won the final period by three to narrow the gap.
Jon Mendez and TJ Hughes led the Pirate effort with 18 points each. Chance Pfander and Corbin Mecham also finished the game scoring in double figures as Chance scored 14 points and Corbin scored 12 points.
