Landon Glenn and Colby Stewart each pulled down 3 rebounds, while Coda Barnes led the team with 6 assists.
On Tuesday night, the Braves traveled to Kincaid to face the South Fork Ponies.

The 8th grade Braves, however, came out strong against South Fork. Landon Glenn had the hot hand early, and the Braves finished the first quarter with an 18-6 lead. Though their defense slipped in the second quarter, they still held a 9-point lead at halftime.
