The Malone Tigers shot out of the gates like a cannon on Tuesday night as they played host to the Pirates of Sneads in boy’s basketball action. Malone could not miss as T.J. Smith was his usual scoring threat and Sneads could not buy a basket. The end result was a Tiger 71-44 victory. Sneads scored just seven points in each of the first two quarters. Meanwhile Malone was blistering the nets for 21 points in the first quarter and 17 in the second. Malone held a 38-14 lead at the half.
Sneads came out in the second half and somewhat found their shooting touch as they managed to outscore Malone 20-13 in the third quarter. Will Holmes hit back to back 3 pointers for the Pirates to cut the Tiger lead to 17 points going into the final quarter. But Malone killed any hopes of a Pirate rally as they turned their flamethrowers back on to outscore Sneads 20-10 in the final quarter of play.
Malone, which improved to 10-2 on the season, was led by T.J. Smith with 25 points and Marcus Leonard with 12 points. Sneads, which fell to 7-4 on the year, was led by Holmes with 11 points and Josh Rogers with 10.
