Perhaps the best among them was Cameron Phillips, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and 14 rebounds. Phillips hasn't dropped below 19 points for four straight games. Another player making a difference was Mataye Youman, who almost dropped a double-double on 12 points and nine rebounds.

Harris County will take on Northside at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Northside's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last five games.
