After losing to St. Stephen's & St. Agnes the last time they met, Potomac School decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Panthers secured a 62-57 W over the Saints on Saturday. While the Panthers didn't have the best season last year (they finished 11-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Akim Iscandari had another great game (as he tends to do), almost dropping a double-double with 17 points and nine assists. Declan Conley was another key player, putting up 15 points.

Potomac School smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 12 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive boards in three consecutive games.

St. Stephen's & St. Agnes' defeat came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Devin Ainsworth, who posted 12 points and four steals. Ainsworth has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last three times he's played. Another player making a difference was Marcus Hancock, who went 5-for-12 to rack up 13 points.

Potomac School is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.2 points over those games. As for St. Stephen's & St. Agnes, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-3.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming contests. Potomac School will venture away from home to square off against Georgetown Day at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday. As for St. Stephen's & St. Agnes, they will head out to take on Bethel Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Saints will be up against the Blazers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 69.42 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
