• In boys play, West’s starting frontcourt combined for 46 points and 25 rebounds in a 68-60 triumph over the Mustangs.
Forward Alan Jones cranked out a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead the way. Kyle Boardman followed with 17 points and six rebounds while Travaughn Long had 11 points and eight rebounds.
“We’re very pleased with our inside production,” mentioned West head coach David Laton. “Travaughn and Kyle were both standouts for us last year and the addition of Alan has made us even stronger.”
The win was West’s third in a row and gave the young Titans a confidence boost heading into Friday’s matchup at Reynolds. The Demons were 3-3 after a win over Reagan last week.
“I’ve always said that every conference game is big and this one is no different,” added Laton. “West and Reynolds has a great rivalry and we’re looking forward to opening up (conference play) against them.”
