The county is beginning to separate itself. Monday night, in the fifth league game of the season, three of the top four squads emerged victorious.
Centennial, still alone in first place at 5-0, defeated Glenelg 73-57. Marriotts Ridge (4-1) and Mt. Hebron (4-1) won their games as well against Reservoir and Hammond, respectively, to stay just one game back.
The other nine county teams all have at least two losses heading into action on Wednesday, which is the final day of league games before winter break.
