On this day 17 years ago, the boys’ basketball team won their sixth game in a row and improved to 6-1 in League VIII with a 75-56 victory over Port Jeff. The Bears set the tone early, jumping out to a 26-15 lead after the first quarter. The Royals would get no closer than eight the rest of the way as the Blue and White continued their quest to repeat as League Champions.

Nkumu Mandungu led all scorers with 26 points, Jonas Fischer and Matt Mattimore each scored 12, Jimmy Roban scored 10, Steve Melchiorre added 6, and Matt Spooner chipped in 5 to give the Brook a very well-balanced scoring attack.
