Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Governor Thomas Johnson walked away with it. They secured a 66-61 W over the Northwest Jaguars on Tuesday. That's two games straight that the Patriots have won by exactly five points.
Despite the loss, Northwest had strong showings from Alexander Greenfield, who shot 46% from the field en route to 14 points and six rebounds, and Jaylin Ouattara, who went 6-for-9 on his way to 13 points along with eight boards and three steals. The dominant performance gave Ouattara a new career-high in rebounds. Eddison Floyd was another key player, putting up eight points and six boards.
Governor Thomas Johnson is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.4 points over those games. Northwest's defeat ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 19-6.
Looking ahead, Governor Thomas Johnson will take on Frederick on Thursday. Both teams are coming into the game red-hot, with Frederick sitting on three straight victories and Governor Thomas Johnson on seven. Northwest does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
