CARDWELL -- With seven players posting double-digit scoring totals, the Risco Tigers spoiled the Southland Rebels homecoming with a 98-64 win.

"We looked real good offensively tonight," Risco coach Brandon Blankenship said. "We were making the extra passes and hitting open shots. I don't think we've ever had seven guys score double-digits in the same game."

After leaving the first quarter tied at 22, the Tigers started distancing themselves from the Rebels, taking an 11-point advantage into the half. Scoring another 30 points in the third, Risco was able to extend their lead to 25 entering the fourth frame where they outscored Southland for the third straight quarter to end the game.

Chris Pavy led the way for the Tigers with 19 points while Luke Bixler and Jeremy Fowler each ended the night with 16.

The win pushes Risco to 10-6 on the season and 6-1 in Tri-County Conference play.
