EASTON, Md- Behind a game high 16 points from Jaden Copper, the Easton Warriors moved to 9-4 on the year with a 54-46 win over Queen Anne’s. The loss drops the Lions to 6-8 on the year,

The Warriors had three different players with half highs; Jaden Copper, Lamont Powell and Marquii Thompson; with 7. Nick Dunkerly and Brandon Peoples led the Lions with 4 each.

The second half proved to be a different story. Queen Anne’s would cut the Warrior lead to just 2 to end the third quarter with help from a buzzer beater from Peoples. In the fourth, the Lions would tie the game at 41 with two minutes to play but the last two belonged to Jaden Copper. Copper scored 8 of the teams 10 points to end the game.
