The two teams exchanged leads down the stretch in the fourth quarter but Moore’s bucket in the lane with two minutes to go proved to be the difference.

“It means a lot,” Moore said. “You know, people didn’t believe in it at first, but we did everything in our power to win. We started 1-8 and now we are 11-10. Now we are conference champs. In the tournament, we are going to be a problem. We’re not going to let up, promise you that.”
For Newton Falls, Mac Haidet and Alex Pennington each had 11 points on the night.
