In what's become a running theme this season, the Front Range Baptist Falcons gave their fans yet another huge victory on Thursday. They blew past Lone Star, posting a 64-31 victory on the road. Given Front Range Baptist's advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 138th, while Lone Star is ranked 309th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

He is on a roll when it comes to rebounds, as he's now pulled down eight or more in the last three games he's played. Stephen Manthei was another key contributor, scoring 11 points along with three steals.
Grant Kuntz and Jesus Hermosillo certainly did their best on Thursday to try and avoid the loss. Kuntz scored seven points along with 12 rebounds and four steals, while Hermosillo scored 11 points. Kuntz hasn't dropped below two steals for three straight games.
Front Range Baptist's win bumped their record up to 6-3. As for Lone Star, they have been struggling recently, as they've lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-7 record this season.
