The Warsaw Tigers showcased their dominance on Friday night, dismantling the Washington Continentals 76-30 in a game that was never in doubt.
Warsaw jumped out to a commanding 26-2 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. The Tigers’ offensive efficiency and stifling defense overwhelmed Washington, which struggled to find its rhythm throughout the game. Warsaw shot 53.8% from the field while holding Washington to a mere 28.6%.
Key Performances
Luke Bricker led the Tigers with an all-around performance, scoring 21 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and dishing out three assists. Brandt Martin added 15 points, going 5-of-8 from the field and a perfect 5-of-5 from the free-throw line. Robbie Finlinson contributed 14 points, including two three-pointers, and Carson Gould chipped in six points with four rebounds.
Washington’s offense sputtered, with Roosevelt Franklin leading the Continentals with just seven points on 3-of-13 shooting. Kevay Shelby added eight points, but the team’s 14.3% shooting from beyond the arc and inability to convert any free throws (0-for-2) doomed their chances.
