Tampa Prep hadn't beaten St. Petersburg Catholic in eight years, and when the Barons rallied to take a second-half lead Tuesday night, it looked as if the streak might reach nine.

But that's when, as Tampa Prep coach Joe Fenlon said, "Our kids decided they wanted to win the game."

Thanks to a strong fourth quarter, the Terrapins did just that.

Behind senior wing David Waller's 19-point, 19-rebound effort and three clutch free throws by Conner Fenlon, Tampa Prep escaped with a 66-63 victory at home.

"It's a great win for us," Joe Fenlon said.

Tampa Prep (3-1) led by nine at the half, but SPC (1-3) took control in the third quarter and moved ahead by three going into the fourth. The Terrapins answered by scoring seven straight points to open the quarter and never trailed again.

"From a coaching standpoint, it was a great thing to see," Fenlon said.

Tracy Parks scored 23 for the Barons.

Bayshore Christian 49, Cambridge 38

At Cambridge, the Faith Warriors improved to 2-0 as guard Fred Lewis scored a team-high 20 points. Tahire Robertson led Cambridge with 15.

Bayshore led 22-10 at the half.

At the Academy of the Holy Names, the Jaguars fell to 3-6 after a hard-fought game. Freshman midfielder/forward Alex Mollanazar scored AHN's lone goal, drawing the Jaguars to within one at the 70th minute.

"We played better than the score reflects," AHN coach Jennifer McGee said. "We dominated for the majority of the game. We just couldn't finish."

"This is probably the first time the whole season we've had a complete game," Terriers coach Chris Brazzle said. "Everything was clicking"
