Cole Ranier scored a game-high 24 points but the visiting Cougars (5-4, 1-2 MISAL) dropped a one-point decision to SEED School of Baltimore County on Wednesday.

Calverton was 4 of 13 from the free-throw line and missed a half dozen layups.

It was Seed’s first win of the year and Calverton’s fourth straight loss after starting the season with five wins.
