When Notre Dame challenged in the second half, Alexander coach Justin Smith remained confident in his team.
"Our second half is normally our worst, to be honest, but I felt that they were going to get on a run, and I knew that we just had to settle down," Smith said. "Our offense was going to be there. We just had to be more disciplined on defense. Once we did that, I knew the game would swing our way."

For decades -- there is no record we know of for when the games started -- local basketball aficiandos have met every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the gym at the YMCA to play hoops.
It is almost certainly the longest-running, ongoing pick-up basketball game in Batavia.
Joe Perzia, the longest-tenured regular player, has been hitting the court at the Y since the early 1990s.
Mike Roth, in his 70s, is the oldest active member, but on any given morning, there can be players in their young 20s trying to block out or drive on guys twice or even three times their age, and the matchups aren't always as uneven as they might sound.
The games are always spirited and intense but always friendly.
Players start showing up on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6 a.m., with games usually starting by 6:30 a.m. In that time, they might fit in as many as three games before players start heading off to work.
On Monday, the current group of regulars played their last games at the old Y. On Jan. 2 (which is actually a Tuesday, in a slight break with tradition), they will play their first games at the new Healthy Living Center.
To commemorate the last games in the old gym, in the manner of a celebration after a big championship win, the players cut down the nets in the old gym.

Alexander Central High School has produced plenty of athletic talent throughout the years and the Roberts Wesleyan University track and field program has capitalized on all that talent through the college recruiting process.
Two of the most recent stars to come through Alexander have been Hailee Lowe and Jadyn Mullen. In her first collegiate track meet with the Redhawks Mullen managed to break the school record in the Pentathlon at the Susquehanna Early Season Multi & Invitational.
Mullen scored 3,205 points and won both the high jump and 800 meter run outright in the Pentathlon, jumping 1.56 meters (5' 1.25”) and finishing the 800 in a time of 2:28.62. Mullen was 87 points above the second-place finisher and broke the school record previously held by Hailee Lowe by 33 points, who set it back in January 2023 at the YSU Mid-Major Invitational (3,174 points). Mullen was also named East Coast Conference Field Athlete of the Week for her outstanding performance.
This was not the first record of Lowe’s that Mullen has broken. At Alexander Central Mullen broke Lowe’s record in the 100 meter hurdles and the outdoor Pentathlon. Since graduating from Alexander in 2023, Mullen still holds twelve school records, including outdoor Pentathlon, outdoor long jump, indoor and outdoor high jump, 2k steeplechase, 400 meter hurdles, 100 meter hurdles, 800 meter run, 600 meter run, 55 meter hurdles, indoor shot put, and indoor Pentathlon.
Mullen who was previously at Penn State University for a semester scored 3,124 points at the Bison Opener at Bucknell University to place 5th in the Women’s Orange Pentathlon back in her sole appearance for the Nittany Lions back in December 2023.
Currently, Mullen sits at 116th in the entire nation with her Redhawk debut score of 3,205 points in the Pentathlon. She is currently 1st in the East Region and East Coast Conference with a converted score of 3,227 points. Her converted score due to track size is just 67 points shy of the NCAA DII provisional standard of 3,294 points, which is needed to have a chance to reach the NCAA DII National Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana on March 12 -15.
Mullen will look to improve upon her score and continue her success this season at the Brockport Multi Invitational on February 7 - 8. The Redhawks first meet back from Winter break will take place at the Brockport Rust Buster on January 17.
