Everyone knows that records go out the window when rivals clash. Such was the case when Garber invaded All Saints gym for a Bay County grudge match. As an added bonus, Garber's point guard, Trey Newsham, made his first return to his former home court where he had been a standout player before transferring to Garber in the fall. The result was an exciting hard fought battle with the Dukes pulling off an exciting 68-59 win.

Garber started the game aggressively attacking the Cougar defense while running a full court press. After the Dukes exploded to an early 9-2 lead, All Saints settled down and pulled back to within 1 at 10-9. Senior CJ Glaza helped power the Dukes to a 20-16 first quarter lead with 6 points and strong rebounding.

Defense was the name of the game for the second quarter as both teams could only muster 7 points each. Garber's Desmond Glaze nailed down 5 of the Dukes seven points while Cougar's Justin Bates kept All Saints in the game with four points and more importantly directing the Cougar offense.
