Two hard-fought basketball games entertained fans Tuesday night at Watson Chapel, but the hosts came up just short in both.

Looking to stake a claim to the Conference 4A-8 championship, Watson Chapel wasnt going away from Star City so easily.

Watson Chapel won its 11th boys basketball game in a row, but wins dont come easily.

Watson Chapel has earned a sweep of Mills University Studies in Conference 4A-8 high school boys basketball, and the bigger picture is all the clearer.

The second-ranked boys basketball team in Class 5A held off the third-ranked team at McFadden Gymnasium on Tuesday, but more importantly extended its lead in the 5A-South Conference.

At some point, Watson Chapels Khamani Cooper was going to score his 1,000th career point in high school basketball. He just had to keep it off his mind at least until he reached the milestone.

Khamani Cooper scored 30 or more points for the third time this month, and Watson Chapel defeated Sylvan Hills for the second time in December in Tuesday night high school boys basketball at Leslie Henderson Gymnasium.

Marcus Strong had made back-to-back three-point shots to give Watson Chapel its largest lead against longtime archrival White Hall in the first half, but his biggest basket was yet to come.
