Using a ball-hawking zone defense and the shooting talents of big Don Morris, the Texarkana College Bulldogs whipped the East Texas Baptist “B” team 71-63 Thursday night in Tiger Gym.
Morris poured in 16 field goals and five free throws for a total of 37 points, and the quick defensive playing of Jim Johnson and Marvin Cepica kept the Tigers of ETBC off balance most of the night.
Morris’ 37 points was not only the high score in this game but the highest this year by a TC player. Johnson, with 12 points, was the only other Canine in this game to hit double figures.
With this victory the Bulldogs’ season record stood at 2-2.
