Too many players on the court might have cost Timberlake Christian a victory over North Cross in a Virginia Independent Conference game. With 30 seconds to play and TCS up by one, the Tornadoes were charged with a technical foul for having six players on the floor, and North Cross took advantage of the mistake to post its first win of the season. Jason Spear led TCS with 29 points, while Paul Fitzgerald added 13 and Wyatt Craig had 10.
