Basketball Recap: Pine Lake Prep Beats Christ the King for Their Second Straight Win

If Christ the King wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Pine Lake Prep, they should've done a better job of containing Jamie Lawson. The Pine Lake Prep Pride strolled past the Christ the King Crusaders with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 64-47 thanks in part to Lawson, who posted 23 points and seven rebounds. His evening made it four games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points.

Joseph Bruce was another key player, putting up 13 points. He has been hot for a while, having also posted two or more steals the last 19 times he's played.

The win made it two in a row for Pine Lake Prep and bumps their season record up to 14-4. As for Christ the King, they have also been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-9 record this season.

Pine Lake Prep has already played their next contest (against Bradford Prep), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Christ the King will challenge Mountain Island Charter at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Mountain Island Charter knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past six games -- so hopefully Christ the King likes a good challenge.
