The GlenOak Golden Eagles only won by three when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 31-point they dealt the Lake Blue Streaks on Friday. GlenOak blew past Lake 78-47 on the road. Given GlenOak's advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 40th, while Lake is ranked 466th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Lipkins is on a roll when it comes to points, as he's now scored 15 or more in the last 16 games he's played. Jaylen Mcelroy was another key contributor, scoring nine points along with five steals.
GlenOak pushed their record up to 14-5 with that victory, which was their third straight on the road. As for Lake, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-16.
