Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Douglass). They breezed by the Friendly Patriots to the tune of 85-30 on Tuesday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland basketball rankings (they are ranked 51st, while the Patriots are ranked 255th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Douglass' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Solomon Lewis, who went 7 of 11 on his way to 21 points and seven boards. With that strong performance, Lewis is now averaging an impressive 15.1 points per game. Another player making a difference was Curtis Valentine, who went 6 for 7 from beyond the arc en route to 23 points.
Douglass was working as a unit and finished the game with 18 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Friendly only racked up two assists.
Despite the loss, Friendly saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Jadon Purcelle posted five points.
Douglass' victory bumped their record up to 10-4. As for Friendly, they have also traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last seven contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-11 record this season.
Douglass will challenge Crossland at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Douglass knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 14 matches -- so hopefully Crossland likes a good challenge. As for Friendly, they will take on Largo at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Largo has seven straight wins, Friendly has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
