Three, two, one, swoosh! Rambler #24 Marcus Rice makes the first basket of the game within seconds of the buzzer sounding. Unfortunately, he is immediately followed with a successful basket by Falcon #10.

The Ramblers quickly retaliated with #22 making the next basket, but once again The Falcons were right behind them scoring once and then going in for another when Rambler #22 was able to block them.

After a Falcon knocks three Ramblers to the ground while making a shot, Rambler #21 is able to make the first free throw of the game.

Fraser then makes a fantastic show of teamwork with Ramblers #10 and #23 seamlessly working together to make a successful basket against Utica.

Regardless of all this hard work, the first quarter still ends with Utica ahead 14 to 11.

The Ramblers fight back hard as they near the middle of the second quarter and manage to get in the lead once again. Rambler #10 does his part by making an epic flying-through-the-air-and-sliding-to-the-ground-basket.

The end of the first half is then complete with a score that fills the room with anticipation: A tied 25 to 25.

The second half seems to fly by as The Falcons slowly advance and Fraser tries their hardest to keep up.

Rambler #24 Marcus Rice makes an entertaining show of grabbing the ball and running all the way across the court to make a perfect basket as he slides to the ground. It is also notable that Rambler #21 had three successful free throws in a row.

Unfortunately, although The Ramblers tried their hardest, The Falcons won the game 60 to 56.
