Juneau-Douglas defeated their valley rivals, Thunder Mountain, 65-48.

Juneau took the lead from the opening tip-off and never looked back. Brief rallies by the Falcons brought the game to within 11 points, but a strong inside game by the Crimson Bears won the day.

The top scorer for Juneau was Kaleb Tompkins with 19 points. Molo Maka and Treyson Ramos put up 14 and 12 points respectively.
