It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Western Tech & Environmental Science ultimately got the result they hoped for on Friday. They walked away with a 58-50 victory over Carver A&T.

Meanwhile, Southern put the finishing touches on their fifth blowout victory of the season on Monday. They breezed by Calvert on the road to the tune of 54-6. Given Southern's advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland basketball rankings (they are ranked 82nd, while the Cavaliers are ranked 259th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
