11-5A BOYS BASKETBALL: Patriots deliver message in convincing win over Rowlett
By DEVIN HASSON, dhasson@starlocalnews.com
Rowlett earned plenty of attention during its 14-0 start that landed them a spot in the Class 5A state poll.
The Eagles have carried that success over into 11-5A play, where they were 4-0.
But Lakeview has put together an impressive record of its own, including a matching 4-0 mark in district play.
Lakeview (20-5) takes over sole possession of first place in 11-5A at 5-0, dropping the Eagles to 17-3 overall and 4-1 in district.
The Patriots left little doubt from the start, opening the game with a 20-5 run. Rowlett tried to hang around, but could not shave anything off its deficit. Lakeview pushed the lead to 22 through three quarters and were able to relax in the fourth.
Jeffrey Carroll scored 23 points and Nathan Hawkins added 16, but no other Eagle player had more than four points.
In another big game on Friday, Naaman Forest moved ahead of Sachse for third place with a 50-42 victory.
The Rangers led by three early on, and then doubled up the Mustangs, 12-6, in the second quarter to take a 28-19 lead.
The second half was evenly played, but Sachse could not afford that, as it was unable to make enough of a charge.
A.J. Goss and Marlo Johnson each scored nine points for the Mustangs, while Marcus Hubbard and Josh Robertson had eight apiece.
With the loss, Sachse drops back into a tie for fourth place at 2-2 with Garland, who defeated North Garland on Friday.
The good news for the Mustangs is they have a good chance to move back ahead of the Owls on Tuesday, as while they play winless North Garland, Garland must face red-hot Lakeview.
Rowlett will have a chance to regroup after its first 11-5A loss with a bye on Tuesday.
