Bryan Antoine scored two clutch baskets and Savior Akuwovo denied Mater Dei's game-tying attempt to give No. 1 Ranney its second win of the season over its division rival.

Scottie Lewis scored 23 points, including the 1,000th of his high school career, to help lead No. 1 Ranney past No. 2 Mater Dei, 59-45.

Scottie Lewis put up 21-8-8 and Bryan Antoine scored 16 of his 20 in the second half to lead No. 2 Ranney past defending T of C champion the Patrick School.
