In a game that was filled with twists and turns, the North Delta Green Wave overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to The Regents School to take a 45-40 lead in the closing minutes, but in the end the visiting Lions rallied for a 56-50 victory Friday to spoil Senior Night for the Green Wave.

North Delta (3-10) trailed 33-23 at intermission before going on a 11-0 run to grab a 34-33 lead in the third quarter while holding the Lions to two points.

Walt Miller, who led all scorers with 25 points, hit a runner in the lane to give North Delta a 41-35 advantage at the 5:43 mark of the fourth quarter.

Ryan Gibson followed Miller with 13 points.

Regents, which started three 8th graders and two sophomores, took the lead 50-49 with under a minute to go in the game, then iced it with a three pointer with 23 seconds left.

Drake Barton and Colin Hartman provided four points while Ben Rowsey finished with two points on a dunk to start the game.
