| Monty Boykins led Lakota West to a road victory over highly ranked Middletown |
- LaSalle 37 Moeller 35: The Lancers won their third game in a row in the rivalry, upsetting the #1 ranked Crusaders at LaSalle. The defensive pressure of LaSalle was enough to force Moeller turnovers, neutralizing the Crusaders size advantage. The Lancers also used timely shooting to go on runs and find just enough offense to win a nail-biter, giving them a leg up in the GCL South; with the rematch coming in their last regular season game. Senior guard Josh Lemons was the game high scorer double-figure scorer as he tallied 9 of his 15 points in the first quarter. Sophomore guard Jeff Larkin was the only other double-figure man with 10 points for LaSalle.
- Arlington Country Day (FL) 69 Withrow 63: The Tigers put a great fight against a team that ranked in the top ten in the country by several media outlets. Junior power forward Devin Williams had a huge game for Withrow as he totaled 32 points, on 14/19 shooting, along with 13 rebounds in the loss. Senior forward Tyler Jordan was also in double figures with 11 points, while senior guard Kendall Beamon added on 6 points and 6 boards. Withrow, playing in a classic in Morgantown (WV), will face the host team tomorrow evening.
- Summit 63 Lockland 61: The Panthers suffered their second two point defeat to Summit of the season, the only team to test Summit so far as they remain undefeated. A big second half from junior wing Dontonio Wingfield Jr kept Lockland alive but his 20 points were not enough to get over the hump. Wingfield used his physical advantage over Summit guard Kevin Johnson, who countered with 18 points of his own, to score around the rim and bring Lockland within striking distance. Senior center Holdy Hertzel was the difference in this one as he led Summit with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
- Taft 73 Aiken 60: The Senators busted open a 20 point lead in the third quarter and cruised in the fourth as they remain undefeated in the league, for the second year in a row. Adolphus Washington led Taft with 22 points and 10 rebounds in the win while fellow senior forward Dwayne Stanford added 11 points and 9 rebounds.

Ali Barnes and Tyler Williams were the other West players in double figures as they scored 10 and 13 respectively. Middletown was led by the 19 points of Geovonie McKnight and the 16 points, with 10 rebounds, of Vincent Edwards as the Middies took their first conference loss of the season.
