Junior Kenny McMillan (Bronx, NY/All Hallows) led the Rams with 21 points and nine boards, while Dashawn Warren (Astoria, NY/W.C. Bryant) finished with a game-high 11 rebounds.

Old Westbury was led by Russell Brereton (Amityville, NY/Copiague) and Sal Clark (Harlem, NY/Our Savior Lutheran) with 12 points each. Jared Weir (Elmont, NY/St. Mary?s) tallied 10 points for the Panthers.
