The team outscored East, 27‑18, in the fourth quarter, but the Demons held on to win.

In a position for an upset, West then faced state powerhouse Maine South on the Maine West court. South appeared to have the game well in hand as they used the fast break to easily open a 39‑28 halftime lead. This is when the home fans seemed to help the team. Their loud cheering appeared to incite the already psyched‑up Maine West team. Fantastic defense shut down the South offensive game completely in the second half. The Warriors pulled to within a basket and had possession of the ball. West was unable to capitalize, and South barely held on to win. Gustafsson scored 16 points while guard Steve Zilliox demonstrated superb dribbling and passing skills to lead West to a near upset.
