The Atlantic Eagles just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Grandview Prep Pride at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a six-game winning streak alive.
On Friday, Atlantic needed a bit of extra time to put away Royal Palm Beach. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 81-79 win over the Wildcats. The score was all tied up 33-33 at the break, but the Eagles were the better team in the second half.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Atlantic to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ty Watson, who posted 16 points and six boards. Watson is also crushing it when it comes to steals: he's grabbed at least two every time he's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Peterson Francois, who put up 16 points and three steals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Grandview Prep). They blew past Lake Worth Christian 79-55 on Friday. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Pride's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 124th, while the Defenders are ranked 304th).
Atlantic's record now sits at 6-0. As for Grandview Prep, their record is now 8-2.
