Coming off two road wins in a row against and Unity Reed and Osbourn, the Yellow Jackets looked to make it three in a row in their final regular season game against Unity Reed- this time at home. Unity Reed would not be lion lying down for OP and won, 79-68.
Unity Reed jumped out to a quick 13-3 lead forcing Osbourn Park head coach Jeremy Coleman to burn a timeout early. The Yellow Jackets would rally behind a trio of three-point shots- two from freshman guard Jalen Proctor and one by senior big man Malcolm Bilal. Unity Reed would be in firm control after one quarter, 20-12.

A three pointer by Lions senior guard Sean Scott would give his team a 14 point lead in the second quarter at 31-17. OP sophomore guard Trey Terrell would soon after get a steal and a layup. Unfortunately for the home team, they were never able to build off positive plays for a majority of the night. Terrell would lead all OP scorers with 20 points adding in 5 steals, 3 assists and a rebound.
Senior guard Logan Dwyer would try a layup, but get fouled by Unity Reed junior Armond Kenbeng. Kenbeng would be caught by officials staring down Dwyer and earn himself a technical foul on top of the personal foul. Trey Terrell would make both technical free throws to bring OP within 8 points at 31-23.
Osbourn Park freshman guard RJ Jones would be called for a charge with his team down 37-25, but on their next possession Dwyer would find senior center Cam Portis for a bucket to pull within ten points at 37-27. Portis would finish the game with 11 points, 9 rebounds (6 offensive), 2 blocks and 2 steals.

Lions junior forward Charles Pargo would nail a three-pointer to extend the lead to 42-27 just as the half ended. Unity Reed would be hot all night and finish with 13 three-pointers made.
The Yellow Jackets biggest run of the night would come in the third quarter when they scored 13 unanswered points to get the score within a basket. During that run junior Josh Okuadido would finish a three-point play, Cam Portis would hit two free throws and Trey Terrell would get another steal and easy layup.
Despite that run for the home team, Unity Reed would get back to their hot streak from beyond the arc while also using the offensive glass to get easy second chance baskets. Pargo would drain another three but was countered by OP senior Daniel Salguero's three-point play to end the quarter. The Lions would be up 58-45 after three.
Unity Reed closed out the fourth strong with more three's from Pargo and junior forward Malachi Smith. A three-point play by Sean Scott put them up 70-53. The closest OP would get was within ten points after a 7-0 run to 70-60.
Osbourn Park will be hosting the first round of the playoffs Thursday night at 6 pm against Unity Reed. It will be the teams' third matchup in four games.
