Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tuscarora). They blew past Harrisonburg, posting an 82-39 win. Given the Huskies' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked 95th, while the Blue Streaks are ranked 340th), the result on Saturday wasn't entirely unexpected.
