Two teams, two different records, two different reasons to achieve their goal, and one goal to achieve.

And that’s just the home teams.

In this case it was the men’s and women’s Titan basketball squads representing the Community College of Beaver County, and both teams achieved that goal–a win–last night in their matchups against Butler County Community College. The ladies started the night by rallying for a 49-39 victory that improves their record to 8-9 on the year, and breaking their two-game losing streak.

In game two, Yazid Powell powered the the men’s offense by scoring 75 of CCBC’s 100 first-half points. Powell then added 6 more in the second half to reach 81, letting that total stand in honor of the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant (who reached that career high back in January 2006 against Toronto). The men cruised to a 147-61 victory–their 17th straight–and now hold an overall record of 18-1.
