In the Frontier Athletic Conference showdown, Hillsboro (1-3, 2-4) held the lead at the end of the first quarter by an 11-7 score and was the first team to score in the game with a free-throw conversion by Caleb Crawford, as he was fouled after stealing the ball from Miami Trace. Two minutes later, at the 5:30 mark of the opening frame, Kyler Conn scored a basket for MTHS to put them into the lead.
HHS responded with six straight points by Ryan Scott, sinking the two 3-pointers from the same exact spot on the court with 2:49 and 1:54 on the clock for a 7-2 advantage. Miami Trace answered with a trey of their own by Trevor Barker with 46 seconds left in the first frame for a 7-5 HHS lead.
The Indians ended the first with a free throw made by Jakwon Clark, plus a third 3-pointer by Scott, while MT had two points by Andrew Guthrie for an 11-7 Indians lead at the close of the first quarter.
