If Centennial was riding high fresh off their 68-32 takedown of Academy for College and Career Exploration last Saturday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Centennial Knights fell to the Howard Wildcats 79-73. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game last Saturday (68), the Knights still had to take the loss.

The dominant performance gave Lane a new career-high in points. The team also got some help courtesy of Nick Baysah, who went 7 of 13 on his way to 15 points and three steals.
