In what's become a running theme this season, the Escambia County Blue Devils gave their fans yet another huge win on Tuesday. They blew past Satsuma, posting a 56-24 win at home. Given Escambia County's advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama basketball rankings (they are ranked 149th, while Satsuma is ranked 453rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Stephen Williams, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds. Williams is absolutely dominating the block category: he's posted at least two every time he's taken the court this season. Jovaughnta Henderson was another key contributor, scoring nine points along with two steals.
