Northwest improved to 9-2 on the season and recorded its largest single-game point total since a Nov. 6, 2006 victory at Shorter College.

The advantage grew to a 38-24 margin with four minutes remaining and the Rangers capped off the first half with a 16-3 run to make it a 54-27 halftime advantage.

Tennessee Prep found itself in foul trouble early in the second half, further bolstering the Rangers' momentum. Leading 70-44, Northwest rattled off a 20-3 scoring run that included back-to-back slams from R.J. Duhart, pushing Northwest to a 90-47 lead with just over eight minutes to go.

Northwest would later see its reserves get in on the action, led by 23 points and seven rebounds from Milton McGee, Jr. Mario Fenner, Jr. would also tally 12 points and four boards in the final minutes of play.

Behind McGee's team-high 23 points, starters Duhart and Jakobi Pearson added 15 and 17 points, respectively. Duhart also fell shy of a double-double with eight rebounds on the night.
