Despite the defeat, Bridgeport saw an underclassman step up: Jaleel Vincent scored 14 points along with two steals. Vincent hasn't dropped below two steals for three straight games. Another player making a difference was Coen Brinker, who scored eight points along with three steals.
Caldwell lost a heartbreaker when they last took the court, but unfortunately for them the defeat they were handed on on Friday was a bit more commanding. They were beaten by Monroe Central 61-28.
