The Warriors got off to a good start as they led 17-11 after one quarter, behind nine first quarter points from Greg Milliken.
Wahoo increased the lead to 20-13 after a Christian Hohl lay up. The Warriors then hit a big dry spell, as they would not score on their next 7 possessions. D.C. West scored 12 unanswered points to take a 25-20 lead. A Josh Discher drive to the basket cut the Falcon lead to 31-28 at halftime.

In the third quarter, D.C. West scored on their first two possessions to increase their lead to 35-28. Following a time-out, Wahoo went to a full court press, and were able to force nine third quarter turnovers from the Falcons. Wahoo would outscore D.C. 21-5 the rest of the quarter to take a 49-40 lead after three quarters. Max Cook, Milliken and Jake Barry each scored 6 third quarter points.

Milliken scored to start the fourth quarter and gave the Warriors their largest lead of the game at 51-40. D.C. West then scored the next 6 points to cut the lead to 51-46. A crucial play of the game occurred on the next Falcon possession, when Jake Barry drew a charge on a driving lay up that would have cut the Warrior lead to 3. Wahoo then went to the other end, where Milliken hit a trey to push the Wahoo lead to 8 at 54-46.

Two Blake Lind free throws cut the Warrior lead to 62-58 with 2:00 remaining. Sean Lindgren answered with two free throws to make it 64-58. Two more Lind free throws made it 64-60, with 1:35 left. Two more free throws from Cole Barry again extended the lead to 66-60. Following a missed D.C. trey, Max Cook hit two free throws to make it 68-60. Three more free throws from Lindgren and Cole Barry accounted for the final scoring and Wahoo escaped with a hard-fought 71-63 win.

"The two areas that we had been really struggling with were turnovers and free throw shooting, and we were outstanding in both areas tonight. We had 47 turnovers in our two previous games, but just 9 tonight. We had also really struggled at the line all year, but were 31-43 (72%) tonight, including a 6-6 stretch late in the game with the game on the line. Our kids really competed tonight and found a way to win against a good team. After back to back losses, we needed a win tonight and we got one," said Head Coach Kevin Scheef.

Milliken led the Warriors with 20 points. Max Cook contributed 15 points on 6-6 shooting at the line, and added 4 assists and 4 steals. Jake Barry added 14 points on 6-6 shooting from the line, along with 7 boards and 5 assists. Discher added 8 points and 9 boards, and Lindgren added 8 boards.

Wahoo improved to 6-4 and will travel to Norfolk Catholic on Friday to take on the rated Knights. D.C. West falls to 10-4.
