The Elizabethton Cyclones opened up the 2015-16 season by hitting the road and traveling to Johnson Co. for a Hall of Champions contest against the Tri-Cities Eagles.
The Cyclones grabbed a quick lead and let Tri-Cities back into the game before going on to run away from the Eagles in registering an 82-47 victory.
“We shot a lot of three’s which may not be a good thing,” said Cyclone head coach Lucas Honeycutt. “We just wanted to get them out there and see what they could do and then we’ll make our adjustments from there.”
The Cyclones hit 11-of-22 from the three-point arc for the contest.
After going on a 15-5 run to start the game, the Cyclones saw the Eagles come charging back before settling in and taking control of the contest from that point.
Senior post Bo Pless scored a game-high 22 points followed by 20 points from Michael Robinson.
Teve Mushayamunda totaled 13 points and Alex Norwood 10 to cap off the quartet of double-digit scorers for the Cyclones.
