The action was fast, and the coaches were furious.

But Fultondale was able to hold on after a game-opening 17-2 run to defeat Corner 64-49 in Tuesday boys’ basketball action.

The Wildcats’ speed forced the Yellow Jackets into a horrid night from the field, hitting just 21 shots on an astounding 81 attempts (25 percent), most of which were in the paint.

“We finished,” said Cats coach Richie Busby. “That’s the first time all season we’ve stepped up to hold on to a lead.”

Deundrea Marshall paced the Wildcats with 17 points. Dre Talley had 16, and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the foul line. Christian McCollough added 15 points.

Jake Eiland led Corner with 17 points, and Seth Hand scored 13.
