The Wyandotte Bulldogs’ multi-threat attack was more than enough to carry the team to a win at Sumner Academy on Tuesday night. With four players scoring in double figures, Wyandotte’s prolific offense claimed a 78-45 road victory.

The Bulldogs’ Diamond Hines provided the outside scoring punch, draining 3 three-pointers in the first quarter. Jehoido Goins controlled under the basket and converted 6 of his 7 chances at the free throw line.

Anwar Crockett found his opportunities driving to the basket and came out strong after the half, scoring 9 in the third quarter. Torry Moore worked for open shots at the left elbow and scored 12 in the game.

Freshman Jammial Hicks led the Sabres in scoring. He found his footing after halftime, hitting 3 three-pointers and tallying 14 of his game-high 18 points.

The two teams won’t wait long for a rematch, completing the season series on Friday at Wyandotte. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.
