They claimed a resounding 77-38 victory over the Boyd Anderson Cobras. The Raiders have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 matches by 21 points or more this season.

St. Thomas Aquinas found their leader in sophomore Clarence Westbrook Jr., who went 13 of 17 on his way to 30 points. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Westbrook Jr. has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Drake (DJ) Sandi, who posted seven points along with ten assists and three steals.

Several Cobras players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Niteno Pierre, who scored six points and six rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Terrence Walker, who had ten points.

The win was the eighth in a row for St. Thomas Aquinas, bringing their record for this year to 24-2. As for Boyd Anderson, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-9.

St. Thomas Aquinas will take on Coral Springs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Boyd Anderson does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
