Despite a valiant second-half effort, the Rams were unable to overcome South Hamilton's strong first-half performance, which included 6 three-pointers. Several Greene County players had strong individual performances, but the team was unable to secure the win on their home court.
Why it matters

The team will now look to regroup and build momentum for next season, as they aim to improve their record and compete more effectively within their conference.
The details
The Rams went down early, trailing 32-13 in the second quarter, but fought back to get within 52-49 late in the game on the strength of their three-point shooting in the second half. South Hamilton built their big first-half lead by knocking down 7 three-pointers, including a late bank shot that helped seal the outcome. Greene County was led in scoring by junior Lincoln Schwander (13 points), senior Nathan Towers (12 points before fouling out), and seniors Rafe Michaelson and Teagan Chisholm (11 points each). The Rams were missing junior Zack Stalder due to illness, and senior Broc Stream has been out since midseason with a knee injury.
