Three players scored over 20 points as the Hounds prevailed 82-66 over Fort Zumwalt East.
Seniors Christian Thomas led the way with 26 points and 19 rebounds. Senior Ahmad Smith scored 27 and junior Clayton Buchanan added 21 to help the Hounds to improve to 13-2 on the season.
The Hounds play in the CBC tournament semifinal on Wednesday night. A win Wednesday would lead to a Friday night showdown for the tournament championship.
Buchanan encouraged students to come out to support the team.
“We’re fun to watch when we push the ball,” Buchanan said. “Plus, one of these games I am going to throw one down.”
The team has played in two tournaments thus far, finishes with trophies both times. Nonetheless, they do not want to settle for second or third place.
“We have had the chance to win two tournaments and we couldn’t bring back first place,” Buchanan said. “We want to get this one.”
