There have been 14 three-point baskets at Washington, and the host Generals hold a 36-30 lead at halftime over Fairfax.

Washington made four three-pointers in the second quarter to offset hot shooting by Fairfax in the first quarter. The Lions have made eight three-pointers, with Jordan Weathers and Donte McFrazier getting three apiece.

Both teams seem perfectly content relying on their outside shooting, but it’s been the play of Washington guard Chris Brown that has been key. He has successfully penetrated the middle to help create scoring opportunities and has nine points.

The winner of this game earns an automatic berth to the state Division I playoffs and a spot in Friday’s semifinals at USC’s Galen Center. Game times will be 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. for a doubleheader.-- Eric Sondheimer
