Glenbrook then went on a 9-0 run as four different Apaches scored to increase the lead to 33-24 with just under five minutes left in the quarter.

Glenbrook took their biggest lead at 43-29 on a Colton Spurlock assist to DeAngelo McDonald at the 6:53 mark of the final quarter. The Spartans could get no closer than ten points until midway through the quarter when a Chase Anderson steal and bucket trimmed the deficit to 44-36 with 4:48 left. The Glenbrook lead was cut to five points at 46-41 following another Anderson steal and basket with 2:48 remaining in the game but a Spurlock baseline drive basket plus one quickly pushed the lead back to nine points at 49-41. Following a Prairie View turnover Spurlock sealed the win with a drive and finger-roll basket that put the Apaches up 51-41 with under two minutes to play.
“We made some adjustments at the half,” said Glenbrook head coach Chris Kourvelas. “We got some zone looks from Prairie View in the second half and were able to capitalize on some turnovers. We have some work to do and we’ve been in a shooting slump lately but district play is about to start and that’s a new season,” said Kourvelas. “It’s time we start proving to ourselves that we can play.”
