CJ Miles (Bangor, PA/Bangor) and Elijah Hamilton (Atglen, PA/Octorara Jr/Sr) combined for 49 points on 19 of 37 shooting from the floor as the Spartans remained undefeated in conference play.  Miles (27 points) dished out 9 assists, while Hamilton (22 points) pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds.  Keein Ward (Harrisburg, PA/Susquehanna Township) added a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. 

"Even though CJ and Elijah had big games offensively, I thought we had nice balance tonight," remarked Head Coach Brennan McCarthy, "12 guys scored at least 1 point and we had 20 assists, so I thought we did a good job looking for the open man.  Keein did a nice job tonight on the glass, as did Nile Mosby (Philadelphia, PA/Carver Engineering & Sciences) (8 rebounds)."
