FOURTH QUARTER

Mount Si 56, Auburn 50: Big, BIG win for defending Class 4A champions, who make eight of 10 free throws in final 1:32 to hold off Auburn. Hennig made all four FTs in last 12.5 seconds. and he finished with 18 points.

THIRD QUARTER

Mount Si 38, Auburn 35: A very bizarre game with an "official" score (36-35) that is wrong. Auburn did make four 3-pointers after going nearly 12 minutes without a FG.

SECOND QUARTER

Mount Si 23, Auburn 16: What a Wildcats' turnaround, and it has been sparked by Mentink - who used to be at Auburn - and Hennig, who has 12 points. Auburn went scoreless in second quarter, missing all 16 field goals.

FIRST QUARTER

Auburn 16, Mount Si 8: Could not have been a better start for Auburn - 10t-0 - and worse start for defending Class 4A champions.
