Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only the Northeast Hurricanes walked away with it. They had just enough and edged the Mavericks out 66-64. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.
Landen Joseph continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, scoring 24 points along with six steals. That makes it three consecutive games in which he has scored at least a third of Northeast's points. Chanler Joseph was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 13 points and ten rebounds.
Northeast is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 18-10 record this season. As for Archbishop McCarthy, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 21-8.
Northeast is on the road again on Tuesday and plays Norland at 7:00 p.m. on February 20th. Norland knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past six matchups -- so hopefully Northeast likes a good challenge. Archbishop McCarthy does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
