Nearly midway through the 2010-2011 high school boys basketball season, the local basketball scene is beginning to take shape.

No team has pocketed more wins to this point in the season than Griffin Christian (12-3).

The Mic Savage-coached Crusaders had a four-game win streak snapped 77-75 in double overtime Friday at Loganville Christian. The Crusaders were playing without All-State point guard Anthony Lewis, who was taking a college recruiting trip to Brevard College in North Carolina.

Furthermore, foul trouble cause two starters to foul out in regulation and a third to foul out in overtime in a game where two other Griffin Christian players ended the game with four fouls each.

Nonetheless, the Crusaders had a chance to notch the game in regulation but a basket in the fourth quarter was only counted as two points. Savage and his staff protested it was a three-point shot to no avail.

The team begins region play where school resumes.

The other hot team in the area is the Spalding High boys team.

The Cecil Spear-coached Jaguars (9-3 overall, 5-2 Region 4-AAA) currently sit in a four-way tie for second place in Region 4-AAA with Eagles Landing, Drew and Stockbridge.

The Jags — which were scheduled to play first-place and No. 9-state ranked Henry County on Tuesday — had a three-game win streak snapped in their last outing, a 73-50 loss Saturday at home to Class AAAA Luella in non-region action.

Elsewhere in the area, Griffin High (2-6 overall, 1-3 Region 3-AAAA Div. A) is struggling under the direction of interim head coach Justin Rogers.

The Bears, which are fifth in the seven-team Region 3-AAAA Div. A standings, had a two-game win streak snapped, 63-26, Friday night at The House against Woodland. The 26 points were the fewest points the Bears have scored in at least 15 years.
