Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Atlantic Christian). They blew past the Buena Chiefs 89-36 on Tuesday. The Cougars have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 matchups by 21 points or more this season.

Charlie Costello was his usual excellent self, shooting 79% from the field to rack up 24 points along with seven boards and four steals. The last time his shooting accuracy was this high was back in December of 2024. Noah Stokes was another key player, putting up ten points in addition to five assists and five rebounds.

Atlantic Christian was working as a unit and finished the game with 22 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.

Atlantic Christian is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-10 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.6 points over those games. Buena is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-14.

Atlantic Christian didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next game, a 62-60 win against STEMCivics on the 19th. Buena has also already played their next matchup (against Absegami), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
