Minford 55, Northwest 51
A 26-2 third quarter moved Minford to a big lead, but the Falcons still had to withstand a strong fourth quarter by Northwest to pull out the win.
Although the Mohawks outscored the Falcons by 12 in the final period, the third-quarter barrage was enough, said Minford coach Kyle Copley.
“In the second half we made a few adjustments and stepped up our press,” Copley said. “We got buckets (off the press) and got on a roll.”
Kyle McGraw scored 18 points for the Falcons and Nick Pendleton poured in 15. Pendleton made three 3s.
Andrew Ellis led Northwest with 17 points.
