3 things that happened on Friday night
Amarillo High boys cruise by Tascosa
Amarillo High stayed unbeaten in district open the second half of 3-5A play, as the Sandies jumped on Tascosa early and didn’t let up in rolling to a 56-39 win.
The No. 4 Sandies (28-3, 5-0) had already clinched a playoff berth before they opened the second half of district, but that didn’t affect their play against Tascosa (14-15, 3-3). Amarillo High never trailed and led 37-17 at halftime.
Zach Brown led the Sandies with 15 points and Braden Hausen had 13, all in the first half. Will Dickerson led Tascosa with 16 points.
The game was a bit of a comedown for the Rebels, who beat Palo Duro 93-73 on Tuesday night.
West Plains takes over third place in 4-4A
A West Plains win over Perryton, and a dramatic Randall comeback win over Hereford has put the Wolves in outright third place in District 4-4A with three games remaining in the regular season.
West Plains made a long trip to Perryton worth it during a 45-39 win on Friday night. The Wolves are now 6-5 in district and 19-11 overall. Perryton falls to 12-12, 5-6. Randall trailed at Hereford by a eight points at the break, however, battled back for a wild 68-64 victory. That puts Hereford (19-8) at 5-6 in district and tied for fourth with Perryton.
