They took the foot off the accelerator in the 2nd. Phillips scored three times and Barfield twice. St. Pat’s kept from falling further back, still 13 points back at the break, 26-13.

In the 3rd period the Hornets swarmed again on a 17-4 run. Rauch scored 13 of the Hornets 17 points. He opened with a trey, then a deuce. He hit another triple, then a two, then competing a 3-point play at the line. Phillips nailed a three and Hunter Watson made a free throw.

Leading by 26 points into the 4th, 43-17, the Hornets pulled in their stingers and still won by 25 at the buzzer. Barfield made a 3-point play Phillips split a pair at the line and Blaze Russell made 3-of-4 at the line then a two for all five of his points down the stretch.
