It was a good run, but the Idea Timberwolves unfortunately witnessed the end of their six-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell 71-64 to Roosevelt. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

Hoston continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Nehemiah Johnson, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Roosevelt to victory, but perhaps none more so than Gabriel Hudgens, who scored 12 points along with four steals.

Paul Public Charter International has been dominant on offense recently, as they've racked up an incredible 246 points over their last four games. Roosevelt will be home for the holidays to greet Eleanor Roosevelt at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.
