A cold start shooting in the second half for Coffeyville would see Oologah get their lead back up to double digits. A three by Jake Horner provided a much-needed spark for the Nado who shot 52% in the second half and trimmed the Mustangs lead down to three with just under a minute left in the game.
Horner would cut the lead to one with 26 seconds left and a turnover a foul would send Aaron Tunstall to free throw line. Tunstall would hit one of two free throw tying up the game at 60-60. The Nado had a chance to win it but couldn't the shot to fall and Oologah was fouled on their attempt at a game winning shot.
