ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Whitley County opened KSA Holiday Tournament bracket play in fine fashion, defeating Republican Nashville 76\u201343 on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colonels improved to 9\u20132 on the season with the win, pulling away after a slow start to take control of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tootie Mahan led the way for Whitley County with 23 points while Henry Bowling added 14. Levi Jackson and Shamal Allen both finished with 11 points, and Riley Fuson and Garrett Sharp chipped in eight points apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitley County coach Eric Swords said he was pleased with how his team responded after the opening quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood win to start bracket play,\u201d he said. \u201cWe got off to a rough start in the first quarter but responded well the rest of the game. We will have to be much better in the morning as we play Musselman High School out of West Virginia, who is ranked anywhere from second to eighth in the state depending on the outlet. But that\u2019s what we came down here for, so I know our guys will be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
