The Salina Central Mustangs clobbered Haysville-Campus Tuesday night, 64-34 in Salina. It was the Mustangs second consecutive 20-plus point victory, giving them plenty of momentum heading into the holiday break.
Central hit a season-high 12 three-pointers in the contest, including eight in the first half. Harper Williams connected on his first six treys on the night, and finished with a game-high 21 points. Mark Grammer had a double-double in points and rebounds, and scored a career-high 16. He also had several beautiful feeds throughout the contest, leading to easy baskets in the half court.
Central only missed two field goals in the first quarter, and went on a 14-0 run in the early minutes. The Mustangs led 24-8 after 1.
In the second quarter, it was much of the same: lock down defense, and flawless offensive execution. Central built a 41-16 lead at halftime.
