Earlier in the season, Augusta defeated Rose Hill on a three-pointer at the buzzer, so a second matchup in the semifinals of the 4A Tournament was going to be another thriller.

The Rockets came into the state tournament on a roll, having won at Andale at the end of the regular season and then upsetting Clearwater in the sub-state finals.

That momentum carried over at the state tournament, as Rose Hill rallied from a double-digit deficit to defeat top-seeded Parsons in the quarterfinals.

The Orioles were no strangers to playing big games at the state tournament, as they made it to the championship game last year. They defeated Ottawa in the quarterfinals.

Prediction: No team had a lead greater than four points throughout the entire game, with the Orioles leading the Rockets 26-24 at halftime.

The score was tied at 39 heading into the fourth quarter. This time around, the Rockets scored last, as two free throws by Koby Campbell gave Rose Hill a 54-52 victory.

While the Rockets fell to Bishop Miege in the finals, it was still an impressive run to end the season.
