HANCEVILLE — The Bulldogs walloped Falkville in the opening round of their annual Thanksgiving tournament Monday night, cruising to a 90-41 win over the Blue Devils at Lane Horton Gymnasium.
Hanceville (4-0) led 29-8 after the first quarter, 57-17 at halftime and 78-28 after three periods.
Brayden Harris (18), Carson Garrett (11) and Logan Quick (10) paced the Purple and Gold offensively, while Noah Douglas and Austin Wood tallied nine apiece. Eight other Bulldogs also scored, highlighting an unselfish brand of basketball for the home team, which parlayed numerous Falkville turnovers into easy baskets.
Hanceville, which will play Mortimer Jordan on Tuesday at 7:45 p.m., shot 60 percent from the field and registered 23 steals.
While the Bulldogs were victorious, both Vinemont (Dora) and Cold Springs (Mortimer Jordan) fell to their respective first-round opponents on Monday.
