    Marengo Academy boys 56, Sumter Academy 49: The Eagles weren't quite as fortunate, dropping a tight one to Marengo Thursday.
    Sumter, which is now 5-5, lost despite 17 points from John Upchurch. The Eagles also got 12 points apiece from Shane Martin and Chase Schroeder.
    Patrician Academy girls 62, Jackson (Ala.) Academy 29: The Lady Saints ran their mark to 9-4 with an easy win over Jackson Academy.
    Leslie Goodman led a balanced attack for Patrician, scoring a game-high 11 points. Stephanie Guinn, Brooke Norris and Kirby Baxter had nine points apiece.
    Molly Bolut led Jackson with seven points.
    Late Wednesday
    Sumter County boys 50, Southern Choctaw 41: The Wildcats ran their record to 13-1 behind the scoring touch of Ferrell Collins and Jeremy Law, who had 12 and nine points, respectively.
    The homestanding Indians remained competitive by getting 11-point contributions from Shaun Causey and nine points out of Terrell McGrew. Marques Hill wiped the glass for 11 rebounds and also had eight points.
    The Wildcats eased away from the host Indians in the final frame, but Southern Choctaw coach Dana Thomas was pleased with the effort.
    Patrician Academy girls 63, Catherine Academy 10: The Lady Saints (8-4) jumped all over Catherine (1-10) with a 21-2 first-quarter burst and never looked back in the lopsided rout Wednesday night.
    Stephanie Guinn led the way with 15 points for Patrician, while teammates Brooke Norris, Brooke Dobbins and Leslie Goodman all added 10.
    The onslaught continued in the second frame as the Lady Saints outscored the visitors 16-3. In the third, however, the offense dried up as both teams only managed a bucket each.
