Ethan Thomas had 14 points (career high) to lead three Tigers in double figures and Todd Simmons' junior high squad won over Stanberry 42-20. Everyone thought this year's bunch would be down following the loss of most of the horses instrumental in a run which saw Worth County's boys only lose four games in the last three years. But winning tends to be a hard habit to break once started. For Ethan, all the time spent at the Sheridan Park playing pickup ball paid off; he started off the game by jumping a pass and going in for a layup. Jaxon Anderson followed with 11 points and Zayne Swope had 10 (career high) as he had plenty of help.
Tanner Parman jumped a pass and then Zane Swope, the littlest man on the court, got behind the defense twice and took passes from teammates. Ethan Thomas jumped another pass and then Hunter Simmons capped off Worth County's first quarter with a 3-pointer to put them up 13-6 after one. For Thursday night's effort, Worth County was trapping and hounding Stanberry's team and collecting a top of tips and steals.
The Tigers held Stanberry scoreless in the second period as Tanner Parman and Ethan Thomas jumped passes to start the period, then Ethan Thomas jumped a pass and found Jaxon Anderson for a layup. Hunter Simmons found Anderson in low, and Zayne Swope went backdoor after Anderson got a steal. Anderson hit Thomas flying down the court, Swope drove down the left baseline for a layup, and Anderson hit a free throw to put Worth County comfortably in control at 28-6. Worth County led by as much as 38-11 in the fourth quarter as they were continuing to get behind the Bulldog defense and completing the long outlet passes.
