Flanagan has given up an average of 58.2  points per game this season, but Tuesday&#8217;s  game will give them a chance to turn things around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">Flanagan is probably headed into the  game with a chip on their shoulder considering West Broward just ended the team&#8217;s  three-game winning streak  on Thursday. They were dealt  a  75-43 defeat at the hands of the Bobcats. While losing is never fun, the Falcons can&#8217;t take it too hard given the team&#8217;s big disadvantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 436th, while the Bobcats are ranked 174th).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"IDed1dcb34216145b68ae71618fb2927ab\" style=\"width:48px;height:48px;border-radius:24px;\" class=\"infosentience-float-left \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1b59def4-c3c6-435d-aa71-2f32f6725518.gif\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display=\" none=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"ID3d3d90a8ad2c4a2cb8182a6d21a8f89f\" style=\"color:#000000;margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:12px;font-family:Siro-Semibold,Siro;font-size:16px !important;font-weight:500;\" class=\"infosentience-standard-text infosentience-float-left \" tabindex=\"-1\"> Marcus Downey<\/p>\n<p>01\/15\/26 @ West Broward201\/13\/26 @ Coconut Creek201\/12\/26 vs Pompano Beach301\/09\/26 vs Somerset Academy301\/07\/26 vs Nova7<a id=\"ID6f716c0c6f5443baa7236a1c294048fd\" style=\"color:#212021;font-family:Siro-Semibold,Siro;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none;\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/pembroke-pines\/flanagan-falcons\/athletes\/marcus-downey\/?careerid=m31ap9m2dptcc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">+ 13 more games<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> The loss doesn&#8217;t tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/pembroke-pines\/flanagan-falcons\/athletes\/marcus-downey\/?careerid=m31ap9m2dptcc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Marcus Downey<\/a>, who  posted eight points and nine  boards. Downey is also crushing it when it comes to  blocks: he&#8217;s   posted at least two every time he&#8217;s  taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/pembroke-pines\/flanagan-falcons\/athletes\/denzel-joseph\/?careerid=aje35ostkqcrb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Denzel Joseph<\/a>, who  scored eight  points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Meanwhile, Fort Lauderdale ended up a good deal behind Boyd Anderson on Thursday and lost  76-59. The Flying L&#8217;s haven&#8217;t had much luck with the Cobras recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they&#8217;ve met.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Fort Lauderdale&#8217;s loss dropped their record down to 11-9. As for Flanagan, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> Flanagan ended up a good deal behind  Fort Lauderdale when the teams last played  back in December of 2024, losing  90-73. Thankfully for the Falcons, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/fort-lauderdale\/fort-lauderdale-flying-ls\/athletes\/reggie-cleveland\/?careerid=88dcv408el966\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Reggie Cleveland<\/a> (who  dropped  a double-double with 30 points and 12  rebounds) won&#8217;t be suiting up this time.
