Chillicothe
jumped on top early and hung on for a 52-29 win over Tarkio in the
LeBlond Tournament. The Hornets used a full court press to generate
steals and easy points in the first quarter to build a 21-4 lead at
the end of the first quarter.
While the Hornets went to their bench in the
second quarter, Tarkio went on a run, closing the gap to 5 points
once, but never got any closer. Eleven Hornet players were rotated
in and out of the game evenly, with eight of the Hornet players
scoring.
Chillicothe went back to their starters in the
fourth quarter to again blow open the game, winning by 23 points to
improve to 7-4.
One concern in the game came early in the second
quarter when the Hornets starting post player Spencer Hart landed
wrong on his right foot and went down with an injury. He didn't
return to the game and had a slight limp while walking out of the
gym at the end of the game. His status for Friday's game in unknown.
