South River Sports: Week of Jan. 10

They fell to Meade, 85-65, but won against undefeated Broadneck, 51-34.

The boys varsity team (3-7) couldn't find the magic they needed to topple Meade (65-46) on Tuesday, but they came close in their game against Broadneck (45-43) on Thursday. They will face North County, away, on Tuesday at 5 p.m. and Arundel (9-2), also away, on Thursday at 7 p.m. Arundel is ranked seventh in the division, which will be a tough one of the Seahawks.
