Legion Prep's Jacy Abii outscored everyone but Royal Crown's collective efficiency won out — Salgado and Musa were nearly unstoppable inside, and Chance Berry's sheer volume carried RC over the line. Legion shot better from 3 (6/19 vs 3/19) and had more assists (13 vs 7), but Royal Crown's dominance on the offensive glass (18 OReb vs 14) and free throw line (12/18 vs 8/11) made the difference.
Stars of the Game
Chance Berry (RC) — 15 pts, 8 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl. High-usage workhorse but inefficient (6/18 FG, 7 TOs)

Beata Musa (RC) — 10 pts on 5/7 shooting, 8 reb — quietly dominant inside
Jacy Abii (LP) — 17 pts, 9 reb, 4 stl — Legion's best player and the game's leading scorer, but team fell short
Hayden Hearst (LP) — 14 pts, 3/6 from three, 6 reb — sharpshooter who kept Legion in it
Kamora Pruitt (LP) — 12 pts, 6 reb — steady presence for Legion Game
