Columbia, MD - It was pure domination on Tuesday night for the Howard Community College Dragons, as they kicked off the second half of the 2025-26 season with an 82-59 blowout win over Delaware Tech.

Big splash plays from Cedric Harville (Baltimore, MD/Ben Franklin) and Sincere Barfield (Philadelphia, PA/Patterson), along with seven three pointers, combined to give the Dragons a complete team victory. The win moves Howard to 10-7 on the season and gives them three wins in their last four games.

Howard opened the night with a bang, jumping out to a 20-6 lead in the opening seven minutes. Back-to-back threes from SIncere Barfield and Evin Thompson (Silver Spring, MD/Sherwood), along with a circus ally-oop dunk by Cedric Harville (Baltimore, MD/Ben Franklin) gave Howard a lead they never surrendered. Harville put ten points on the board in the first half as Howard led 49-29 after one period. In the second, the Dragons snuffed out a potential Delaware Tech comeback, then rested their starters as the bench cleaned up the contest. Solid shooting from Kanye McMahon (Lexington Park, MD/Chopticon) and Jake Tillman (Atlanta, GA/Lakeside) grew Howard's lead to 28 at one point, and the Dragons coasted to an 82-59 win.
