Excelsior Springs hit the first shot of the game to take a 3-0 lead,
but it was all Chillicothe after that as the Hornets rolled to a
59-40 win.
Following the initial Tigers basket, Chillicothe went
on a 12-0 lead and led by 10 after the first quarter. A late second
quarter surge by Excelsior Springs made the gap just nine points at
intermission.
Chillicothe took back a double digit lead early in the
third and the game was never in doubt, with the Hornets leading by
as many as 23 points at times in the fourth quarter.
Chillicothe had a boost at the end of the third quarter
when the Hornets Senior Point Guard NIc Voorhies nailed a shot from
half court at the buzzer.
The Hornets also shot well from the free throw line,
hitting 14 of 18 charity tosses in the game.
