Baldwin had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.8 points) and they went ahead and made it six on Tuesday. They enjoyed a cozy 47-31 win over the Howard Huskies . Given the Braves' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 71st, while the Huskies are ranked 369th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Baldwin was led to victory by Deven Nelson and Jared Mundie. Nelson posted nine points along with seven rebounds and five assists, while Mundie earned ten points and eight boards. The dominant performance gave Mundie a new career-high in rebounds. Jaylen King was another key player, putting up six points and six boards.

Baldwin smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 13 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in six consecutive matches.
