Joseph Creal knocked down four three-pointers in the first quarter, propelling Mansfield Summit to an early advantage they never relinquished in a 45-32 third-place victory over Denton Guyer at the Championship Basketball Tournament.

Guyer fought back behind Connor Kennedy, whose driving layup sparked a second-quarter run. But Summit's defense clamped down in the second half, with David Bardere recording a crucial steal and score that pushed the lead back to double digits and sealed the outcome.
