Out of the half Mosinee would get a better rhythm on offense and stop Rhinelander on some possessions to take a small 6 point lead. Rhinelander would continue to battle and get some opportunities to shoot free throws. They would capitalize by making 9 out of 10 free throws in the second half and all of them within the last three minutes. Mosinee had their chances to keep the lead and the ball just did not fall for them tonight. Rhinelander would go up by one with 22 seconds left in the game. Mosinee would call a timeout and draw up a play to try and win the game. Mosinee was unable to capitalize with winning the game in the final seconds.
