The Episcopal Maroon will head out to challenge the Landon Bears at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Episcopal knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past four matchups -- so hopefully Landon likes a good challenge.
Episcopal is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Bullis just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Tuesday. The game between them and the Bulldogs didn't end well, with Episcopal falling 72-57. The Maroon were down 58-34 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Meanwhile, Landon unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Tuesday. They took a 59-53 hit to the loss column at the hands of St. Stephen's & St. Agnes.

Landon now has a losing record at 6-7. As for Episcopal, their loss dropped their record down to 7-4.
