Leesburg (Jan. 5, 2010) - Senior Zach Rawson scored a career-high 29 points to lead Broad Run High School to a 83-74 Dulles District boys basketball win over Loudoun County Tuesday night.
The win improved Broad Run to 4-1 in district and 10-1 overall as they look to keep pace with unbeaten Potomac Falls (5-0, 9-0).
Sophomore Nigel Johnson scored 27 points for Broad Run in the win and senior Taylor Johnson added 18 but Rawson was the big surprise as he came in averaging eight points a game but went 13 of 19 from the field.
Senior Colin Gibson led the Raiders with 21 points.
"We kept the score low and didn't panic," said Loudoun County head coach Mark Alexander. "But they have some talented shooters."
Broad Run ended the first quarter with a six point lead, and after an even second quarter the lead was extended to eight points at the half.
Broad Run's offensive surge in the final quarter, during which they scored 28 points, sealed the win.
Both teams struggled with turnovers and both Broad Run players and head coach John Costello were critical of their teams defensive performance.
"We're happy to get the win, but we didn't play too well on defense," said Rawson.
Loudoun County, now 5-5 overall and 2-3 in the district, has improved since their 0-3 start earlier this season.
"I think we can beat anyone if we continue to improve," said Alexander.
Broad Run's only blemish on their season is a loss December to Potomac Falls and the two teams are slated to tangle again on January 28th.
"We're not trying to look ahead," said Costello. "We cannot slip up once. One more loss could ruin the season."
