Aimee Beightol scored 18 points to lead Cave Spring (2-0) to the non-district win. Alivian Coates led Albemarle (1-1) with 12.

The Knights trailed by six points with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but three baskets after steals by Aimee Beightol and her twin, Allison Beightol, tied the score. Cave Spring then took a three-point lead with 15 seconds remaining in regulation, but Albemarle forced an overtime period with a 3-pointer with four seconds left.

With the score 43-43, the teams traded baskets at the beginning of overtime. The Knights then pulled ahead 47-45 and went to a spread offense for the final 1:30. Albemarle was forced to foul, and Cave Spring hit four of eight free throws down the stretch.
