WEST UNITY 1/10/2014—In a contest that saw Hilltop lead for 3 quarters of action, but a huge fourth quarter by the Fayette Eagles to come away with a 57-45 victory.

The Cadets would be able to hold on to a narrow 23-22 lead as the two teams headed in to the locker rooms for halftime.

The Cadets lead would expand in the third period of play, as Hilltop would outscore Fayette 10-7 in the third quarter to push the score to 32-28 in favor of the Cadets.
