In the race for an unbeaten league record, Nazareth’s boys basketball team beat the nationally ranked girls.

Samson Usilo had 15 points and Naquan Chandler had 13 points to lead Naz to a 56-33 win over Salesian in CHSAA Class B boys basketball Friday in New Rochelle. Shajea Stephenson had 10 points and Mike Megafu had nine points and 14 rebounds for the Kingsmen (18-6, 12-0 ‘B’), who have won 10 straight games.
