After the first quarter,
the Indians led 15-6,
holding Bacon to just two
three-pointers. Vidalia in

the way for the Indians,
scored 7 of his game-high
14 points in the closing
quarter as the Indians
outscored the Raiders
16-6 down the stretch to
get the win.
“I think we controlled
the speed of the game,
and once we adjusted to
what they wanted to do
physically, we settled
down and played the way
we are supposed to.”
Bryson Whited, with
3 three-pointers, finished
the night with 11 points,
while Jacobi Washington
and Konner Owens added
9 points each.
