Huge Second Half Results in Blowout Win

Twin Falls, ID -- It took the Indian Hills Warriors a while to get untracked in their game with Treasure Valley CC in the opening game of the Boise Office Equipment Invite on Friday.  In fact, the Warriors really didn't get rolling until the second half.  They exploded for 74 points, though, in the final 20 minutes and throttled Treasure Valley, 117-67.

Indian Hills found itself trailing early, 9-1, and didn't go on top for good until a layup by Jameel McKay made it 20-19 with 11 1/2 minutes to go in the first half.  From there the Warriors increased the lead to nine by halftime.

IHCC's first three field goals of the second half -- two by Richard Amardi and one by Frank Williams -- came in the paint and the Warriors continued to have great success inside the TVCC defense.

Ronald Ross had a relatively quiet first half with six points on two 3s, but he came to life in the final half, drilling five more 3s, the final one pushing Indian Hills over the 100-point mark.  Ross led all scorers with a season-high 25 points and was 7-of-9 from behind the arc.

McKay added 18 points and nine rebounds and Justin Moss had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Treasure Valley placed four players in double figures, with Christopher Willis' 16 leading the way.

Indian Hills improved to 7-0 for the season and will get a chance to play the host school for this tournament, College of Southern Idaho, on Saturday night.
