The Panthers took control early in the second half, scoring 10 straight points in less than four minutes after the two teams went into halftime tied at 42-42.
 
COD, which never led in the final 20 minutes, got as close as seven of the lead, 82-75, with 5:25 left.
 
However, Olive-Harvey responded with a 7-0 spurt to dash any type of Chaps' comeback.
 
Strong hit four 3-pointers, and John Gray III, who totaled 16 points, added three treys. Braylen Meredith added 14 points — all in the second half — and Tylon Toliver scored 13.
 
Olive-Harvey outscored the Chaps 26-13 on points off turnovers after creating 20 COD turnovers.
