Keaton, Tittsworth lead Warriors to win
A strong combination of inside and outside scoring helped Centertown’s seventh- and eighth-grade boys to a win Thursday night.
Tyler Keaton proved deadly from the perimeter, nailing five 3-pointers, and Hank Tittsworth provided an inside threat as the Warriors handed Irving College’s boys a 43-29 defeat.
Tittsworth finished with 10 points for the Warriors, who went up 13-4 by the end of the first quarter and led 22-16 at halftime.
A 13-point third quarter sealed the deal for Centertown, as their defense held the homestanding Tigers to just four points in the period to go up 35-20. That lead proved to be enough to allow the Warriors to hold on despite being out-scored 9-8 in the game’s final stanza.
Keaton finished with 18 points to lead all scorers, while Tittsworth had 10. T.J. Cantrell and Timothy Patrick scored four each, Kendal Wooten had three, and the duo of Jonathan Green and Matt Cowan had two each.
Darrid Wells’ 16 points led the Tigers’ efforts, while Ethan Grider had six and Josh Burton had five. Justin Bouldin finished with two points.
