Equality Invitational Tournament In the second game of the Equality Invitational Tournament, the Bearcats defeated Cra-b Orchard 63 to 39.

With this victory added to their string, they entered the. finals against Carrier Mills, who defeated Cave-In-Rock. ' The Galatia five experienced a different brand of ball in the game against Carrier Mills, whom they had defeated earlier in the season by 33 points. It was also a low scoring game with the score at the half being 2 to 2 and the final score 20 to 17, with Carrier Mills being the victor. Carrier Mills stalled the ball most of the first quarter and all of the second quarter with their objective being to break up the zone defense of the Bearcats.
