That was a full 50.8% of Roosevelt's points, marking the third time in a row he's posted more than a third of the team's points. Gavin Peeps was another key player, putting up seven points and 13 boards.

Kenston is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 53.2 points per game this season. As for Roosevelt, they are taking a road trip to square off against Tallmadge at 7:30 p.m. on January 24th.
