Oran will take on Bell City in the consolation final.

The Eagles were led on Monday by Jacob Priggel's double -double with 21 points  and 13 rebounds. Hunter Schlosser just missed the same feat, he added 17 points and grabbed 9 rebounds for Oran who's record now sits at 6-4.

In the fourth quarter with the game literally on the line the Eagles were able to seal the victory going 6-7 from the free throw line.  Eric Westrich and Garrison Mangles both sank their two attempts.  Priggel was 2 for 3.
