Like the girls, the boys have had different players go off every night as they are off to a 3-1 start that nobody expected. This time, it was Jaxon Anderson who led the Tigers. The tall lanky 8th grader, who moved from California, fueled the Tigers to a 40-12 win over King City Tuesday. The Californian was true to form in the first few minutes, tipping one pass to Hunter Simmons and throwing another to Hayden Holmes, who pulled back and hit a long outside shot to put Worth County up 4-0. Ethan Thomas scored on consecutive steals and then Jaxon Anderson, normally a distributor, started getting the hot hand. He buried a shot from the high post, scored from inside off a pass from Thomas, scored off a steal, and then put back a miss for nine straight points to make it 17-2. Ethan Thomas hit a shot from the top of the key to put Worth County up 19-2.
The Tigers continued to force turnovers despite Coach Todd Simmons electing not to press; Ethan Thomas scored off a Hunter Simmons steal, Reid Gabriel scored from inside, and Ethan found Hunter Simmons inside. Then, Jaxon hit a closely guarded triple to get going again, adding consecutive steals right before halftime to put the Tigers up 32-7.
Andrew Alarcon did much of the scoring in the second half, getting a steal and then cleaning up off a miss and then burying a pair of outside shots. Anderson took a pass from Hayden Holmes to account for the rest of the scoring.
Jaxon Anderson had 18 points to lead the Tigers. Ethan Thomas had 8, Andrew Alarcon 6, Hayden Holmes 4, and Hunter Simmons and Reid Gabriel 2 each. Ethan Thomas had 4 assists.
The B team won 7-1 in the nightcap. Reid Gabriel had 5 points and Tate Welch had 2 for the Tigers.
