Adam Brown (seven), Noah Shore (four), Dallas Sims (three), George Sakai (two) and David Patton (two) contributed as Davie halted a three-game losing streak.
Three days later, the War Eagles handled business at Glenn, 58-51. Owens (15 points), Driver (14) and Brown (13) propelled Davie to a final record of 13-8, including a 7-7 mark in the Central Piedmont Conference. Essic (nine), Isaac Swisher (four) and Jackson Sulecki (three) were the other scorers.
