With the score deadlocked at 57-57 at the end of the fourth quarter, the game headed into overtime. In the extra period, Louisburg's resilience shone through as they capitalized on clutch plays from Chloe Rush and Dyimond Sturdivant to secure a hard-fought victory. Clowney led the charge for Louisburg with 23 points, while Daniels contributed 14 points and orchestrated the offense with precision. Rush and Sturdivant provided crucial contributions, chipping in with 13 and 6 points, respectively.

Louisburg's Head Coach, Jason Rasnake, praised the team's resilience, stating, "It was a hard-fought battle, and I'm proud of the way our players persevered until the end. This victory is a testament to their character and determination."
