The high school boys basketball scene saw a surprising result with the No. 14 nationally ranked Columbus Explorers being upset by a neighboring South Florida school.
In Florida high school boys basketball action on Tuesday night, the St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders went on the road down to Miami and upset the Explorers in a 62-52 decision. The Raiders won last year’s Class 6A state championship while the Explorers were the Class 7A champions, respectively.
In the battle between two 2024-25 state championship squads, it was the Raiders for most of the contest being in full control behind a strong night from junior guard Clarence Westbrook Jr.
Westbrook Jr. led the way for the Raiders as the junior scored a team-high 17 points and fellow teammate Nate Accius came down with eight rebounds in the victory.
Columbus (12-4) held the early 13-11 advantage, but from there it would be St. Thomas Aquinas holding the lead for the majority of the night. The Raiders held a 31-26 lead at halftime, continuing to build on their lead in the second half.
The Explorers will look to bounce back on Friday night against Stranahan as the Raiders are back in high school boys basketball action tonight versus Blanche Ely, respectively.
