Brush posted their biggest win since December 27, 2024 on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Hawken Hawks with a sharp 56-36 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Arcs - the second in three days.

Brush jumped out to an early 13-6 advantage as Isaiah Parker supplied 6 points and 2 rebounds and was supported by Prince Ryleigh-Johnson's 4 tallies and a long range 3-pointer from point guard Dehki Owens (who nailed 3 three-pointers throughout the contest). Yet Hawken re-grouped and fought back in the second quarter, with balanced scoring from six of its players, including 5 from Greg Price. The Arcs held a slim 27-23 lead at the halftime break.

As they did against Youngstown East on Sunday - Brush came out of the locker room on a mission (perhaps a few choice words from the coaching staff ?) and with Jay Gilchrist posting 5 well-earned points, supplemented by Ryleigh-Johnson's 3-point / 4-rebound quarter - you could feel the momentum shifting Brush's way. They clipped the Hawks wings with a defense that allowed only 13 second half points while the Arcs countered with 29 themselves to win going away, 56-36.

Brush pushed their record up to 11-7 with the win, which was their third straight at home (Brush was the "home team" in Sunday's tournament vs Youngstown East).  The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.7 points per game. As for Hawken, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-7.
