Benton Harbor came out firing on all cylinders, knocking down shots and flying around on defense from the opening tip. Vicksburg struggled to find any offensive rhythm, though they had brief moments where attacking the glass led to a few points. Ultimately, Benton Harbor proved to be too much, cruising to an 81–40 victory.

Player of the Game:#5 Zameir Clayton earns Player of the Game honors. Clayton showcases elite offensive skill, highlighted by his go-to move—a quick jab step into a step-back three—which he executes to perfection. Most impressive, however, is his high basketball IQ, consistently making the right reads on the floor.

Carpenter Action Shots – Thoughts from Behind the Camera: Benton Harbor may not feature a traditional post presence, but they more than make up for it with speed and shooting. This is a fun, high-energy team to watch.

Final Benton harbor: 81 Vicksburg: 40
