Most would have believed the game was over at half with Seward trailing Garden City 50-33, but the Saints put together a rally for the ages in the rivalry game between the two teams separated by an hour on Highway 83 and outscored the Broncbusters 59-40 in the second half to escape Garden City with a 92-90 win.

The Saints erased the Broncbuster lead in the first 111 minutes of the second half and took a 66-65 lead after an Awit Mamer lay-up.

The Saints took a nine-point lead with 2:07 to play before the Broncbusters cut the lead to one, 89-88 with 28 seconds to play. But the Saints made three of four free throws late to secure the 92-90 win.
