Skyline came away with a close win at home over East, 53-49, in a battle between two top teams in 5A Region 6.

Skyline retook control in the second quarter and tied it, 33-33, at halftime. The Eagles then inched out the Leopards in the second half to move to 12-5 overall and 6-1 in region play, solidifying the second-place spot in region behind Skyline's next opponent, Olympus. Senior guard Kai Tulsian led all scorers with 17 points, including five 3-pointers, for Skyline. Senior Kevin Doe led East with 11 points. "[I] can't say it enough--we love our guys!!! East really defends, but we keep finding ways to win, and it is a testament to our kids' toughness. We have not arrived by any stretch, but I love the direction we are moving in," Skyline coach Marcus Frazier said.
