Elkton finished an unbeaten run through the Susquehanna with a 74-44 victory at Bohemia Manor Tuesday evening. K.J. Minter scored 21 points and Obote Briscoe finished with 14.
Despite a rash of injuries, Elkton coach Charles Givens saw his team dominate through the second half of league play.
βThe kids have worked hard. Weβve worked through injuriesβ¦itβs been another man down, another man down,β said Givens, whose team won its final seven Susquehanna matches by double digits. βWeβve gotten help from a lot of people.β
The Elks (14-0 Susquehanna) have gotten a big boost from Minter, a freshman, who was called up from the junior varsity during the Christmas holiday. He has complimented seniors and returning starters Zyan Williams and Jaden Nichols.
The Elks improved to 19-2 with a road victory over Edgewood Wednesday evening. Elkton completes the regular season at C. Milton Wright Friday evening.
