MURRAY — Tuesday night’s battle between Murray and Lamoni had all the makings of the final piece of a Hollywood blockbuster trilogy.

Murray tasted victory in the first installment, 52-50. But Lamoni ended a nine-game winning streak in the series by Murray with a 62-50 win on Saturday in the second installment, during the Bluegrass Conference Tournament finals.

In Tuesday night’s third installment, the two teams battled for a leg up in the regular season conference title race, and likely for the top seed come district tournament time.
