How it Happened:
After the Golden Tornadoes made a 3-pointer to start the game, the Chargers raced out to a 7-3 lead with Trey Grube (Sr.) capping the scoring run with a three. Lancaster Bible then went on an 8-0 run including six points from Micah Washington (So.) to extend their lead, then Geneva (Pa.) surged back to swing ahead 20-16 with under eight minutes to play in the first half. Their run ended in transition on a big dunk by Connor Storr (Sr.) to ignite the crowd, then another score by Storr tied it up at 20-20. A few minutes later, a three by Grube gave the Chargers a one-point lead, then with Geneva (Pa.) up 31-30, Lancaster Bible closed the half on a 12-1 run with points by Camden Hurst (Sr.) and Chase Hurst (Fr.) to help the Chargers carry a nine-point lead into halftime.
 
Timmy Hambright (Fr.) got the second half started with a made 3-pointer, then a 9-0 run by the Chargers stretched the lead to 19 points as Storr knocked down a three and Bennett Bowers (Jr.) had a fast-break layup. Grube then lit up the crowd once again with three made 3-pointers in a two-minute span, quickly spiking the LBC lead to 25 points at 65-40 just five minutes into the second half. Grube and Camden Hurst continued to power the LBC offense with several buckets, helped by several assists by Silas Leonard (Fr.) as the lead passed 30 points at the 8:29 mark of the half. Jacob Lewis (So.) hit a three in front of the Chargers' bench before the Golden Tornadoes fought back with a 10-point scoring run, but another dunk by Storr ended that run as he had a six-point run by himself. A three by Hambright got the Chargers past the century-mark as they took a 100-72 win in their first home game of the season.
