Logos came out in a box and one defense with a defender assigned to shadow Tyler Krogh wherever he went. That led to some strange looking sets in the second half. Logos took a 4-6 lead early but Summit then took control. Chmelik scored on a feed from Osborne. Tyler Krogh then found Osborne open underneath for a basket and Osborne then passed to Dean Stubbers for a basket to put Summit up 10-6. Logos scored to cut the lead to 2 then Tyler Krogh shook his defender long enough to sink a 3-pointer. 30 seconds later Dylan Krogh sank a 3 pointer and Summit was up 16-8. Logos scored the final 4 points of the quarter to cut the lead to 16-12.

Chmelik and Dean Stubbers each scored a basket. Dylan Krogh sank a pair of free throws. Tyler Krosh scored a driving lay-p. Dylan Krogh sank a 3-pointer and Jake Stubbers scored before Logos finally put 2 points on the board in the quarter. Summit then finished the half with an 11-1 run as they outscored Logos 24-3 in the quarter for a 25 point halftime lead, 40-15. With their third game in as many nights, Summit slowed the pace down considerably in the third quarter, looking to run clock as opposed to scoring. As mentioned earlier, the box and 1 led to some strange sets. Tyler Krogh would set up in the corner at the time line and have his defender right there leading to a 4 on 4 set on offense. A couple of times Tyler stayed in the backcourt and actually had 2 defenders hanging back there with him. Logos outscored Summit 2-8 to cut the lead to 19 but a lay-up by Dylan Krogh and a 3-point play by Osborne put the Patriots back on top by 24. They led 47-25 heading into the fourth quarter. Summit continued to run clock in the fourth quarter and Logos struggled to score as they went just 1 for 14 from the field and added 4 free throws. Summit meanwhile went 5 for 7 from the field as they led by as many as 29 at 58-29. Logos hit their only basket of the final quarter with 2 seconds left to make the final margin 26 points. Dylan Krogh wound up as Summit’s leading scorer with 17 points, 13 of them in the first half. Osborne had a double-double with 13 points and 15 rebounds. Tyler Krogh still managed to score 11 against a defense geared to stop him.Chmelik and Dean Stubbers scored 6 each with Jake Stubbers scoring 4 and Justin Wassmuth 1. Summit dominated on the boards 52-24 as Chmelik also hit double figures on the boards with 11 and Tyler Krogh added 8. Tyler Krogh had 2 steals and 4 assists while Osborne had 2 steals and 3 assists. Summit was 27 for 48 from the field, 56%, and 4 for 6 at the line, 67%. Logos was 12 for 61 from the field, 20%, and 5 for 7 at the line, 71%. Summit takes a 17-4 record into the state tournament.
