Fairfield Prep had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 16.9 points) and they went ahead and made it eight on Thursday. They walked away with a 59-47 win over the Xavier Falcons. Given the Jesuits' advantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut basketball rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while the Falcons are ranked 90th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Fairfield Prep pushed their record up to 12-5 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.2 points over those games. As for Xavier, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-13 record this season.

As of now, neither Fairfield Prep nor Xavier have any future games scheduled.
