WILLIAMSBURG \u2014 Whitley County wasted little time taking control Tuesday, rolling past Williamsburg 84\u201320 in its 50th District opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colonels improved to 13\u20134 on the season and 1\u20130 in district play, while Williamsburg fell to 1\u201313 overall and 0\u20131 against district opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGreat win for our guys,\u201d Whitley County coach Eric Swords said. \u201cAlways good to get a district win. Proud of our guys for just going in and taking care of business. We have a big district game on Friday at home vs South, they are coming off a district loss so we know we will take their best shot. We need everyone to come out and get behind us. Go Colonels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitley County jumped out to a commanding 33\u20134 lead after the first quarter behind a dominant opening stretch from Tootie Mahan, who scored 16 points in the period. Dee Parker knocked down two three-pointers and added six points, while Garrett Sharp chipped in three as the Colonels built early separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitley County stretched the margin to 66\u20138 at halftime and put the game away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahan led the Colonels with 26 points in the win. Hunter Bowling added 15 points while Parker finished with nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williamsburg was led by Lane Jeffries with eight points. Trenton Cornett added five points for the Yellow Jackets in the loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
