Azani Smith made three of four free throws in the final minute to secure the win. Caleb Wade added two free throws of his own to push the CRC lead to five points with 0:52 to play.
Seniors Ethan Bell and Hayden Robinson each scored 15 points in their final game at the Carter Activities Center after being honored before the game on Senior Day. Cole Nichols added 14 points, and Caleb Wade scored 12 points in the win.
Braiden Burk and Peyton Griffith were both honored before the game and were both in the starting lineups, as they will both graduate from CRC.
