    The Blue Knights and Trojans split the season series as each team one once. Back on December 19 in Lunenburg, the Blue Knights pulled out a 63-58 win over Bromfield.

    The Lunenburg offense was paced by senior captain Josh Trainque with 13 points. Fellow classmate and captain Ryan Corcoran added 12 points. The two Blue Knights were the only players to hit double figures for the visitors. Greg Abare and Nijal Hamberg each scored three points.
