12-5A BOYS BASKETBALL: Horn downs North Mesquite to move into fourth place
By DEVIN HASSON, dhasson@starlocalnews.com
It might seem like just an early-district win right now, but Horn's 49-26 victory over North Mesquite on Friday might prove to be huge down the line.
With the victory the Jaguars improve to 2-2 in 12-5A and take a one-game lead over the Stallions for the fourth and final playoff berth.
Horn took control in the second quarter, as a 14-5 run turned a one-point game into a 23-13 lead.
Anthony Sharp almost outscored North Mesquite by himself with 25 points, while Zach Charles added 12 points and Alan Hodge chipped in with 10.
Norman Alexander and Mike Williams paced the Stallions with eight and six points, respectively.
Mesquite was idle on Friday, giving them a chance to rest up for the biggest 12-5A game to this point in the season when they travel to play Longview on Tuesday.
The Lobos improved to 5-0 in district play by defeating Rockwall, setting up a battle for first place with the 4-0 Skeeters.
Horn and North Mesquite will each have good chances to pick up wins on Tuesday, as they play Rockwall and Rockwall-Heath, respectively. The Yellow Jackets and Hawks are the only teams without a district win.
