NATCHEZ &8212; If you didn&8217;t know any better, you&8217;d have thought Ricky Dunbar and Antonio Jordan had done that play a couple of thousand times.

As cousins, maybe they did.

But when Jordan came up with a block under the goal and kicked it out to Dunbar, who drove the length of the floor for a bucket, that was something special. Not only was it executed to perfection, but it boosted a Huntington perhaps like none other so far this season for the Hounds.

It set the stage for a 20-0 run that the Hounds used to blitz Trinity Episcopal at the start of the fourth en route to a 62-42 win over the Saints at Clyde Adams Arena for the season sweep.

&8220;I think that was luck,&8221; said Dunbar, who had 10 of his game-high 17 points in the fourth quarter. &8220;I think this was the best ball game overall we played all season. We really got after it and hustled. We went in at halftime, and coach said we needed to improve on what we were doing and work hard. That&8217;s what we did.&8221;

The run made the game a runaway in a matter of minutes after both teams battled for three quarters just as they did a week ago in Ferriday.

But this time when the Hounds made some adjustments to their press in the fourth quarter, Trinity struggled getting the ball down the floor and setting up its offense.

At one point the Hounds went on a 10-0 run with Trinity getting off only one shot. Dunbar hit a bucket and later drained two free throws less than two minutes into the quarter for a 48-38 lead.

The Hounds (8-1) trailed 38-34 after the third quarter.

&8220;It was a real physical ball game, and both teams played hard,&8221; Huntington head coach David Boydstun said. &8220;It could have easily gone the other way if they had a couple of steals. I&8217;m proud of our kids. They&8217;re giving me everything they have every night. If they keep winning, they&8217;ll be a pretty good ball club before it&8217;s over. They were diving on the floor and getting after loose balls. They were really working their tails off.&8221;

The Saints (4-2) had a chance to stop the bleeding with two free throws at the 5:22 mark, but they missed both. That allowed the Hounds to up their lead, and Trey Corbett put in a bucket right after on a pass from Stan Hazlip to put the lead at 20-38.

Dunbar followed with a bucket off steal, and Jordan came with a bucket for a 54-38 lead at the 4:10 mark. The Saints didn&8217;t score until Kris Ford hit the second of two free throws with 4:03 mark.

&8220;They were throwing it over our front three (in the press),&8221; Boydstun said. &8220;They were putting it right here (near mid-court) with their fourth guy, and we brought up a guy up to cut him off. That&8217;s when it started hurting working. They started turning the ball over. We had been trying all game long.&8221;

Even after the free throw, the Hounds put in four more points to take a 58-39 lead before Parker Brumfield put in a 3-pointer with 1:09 left for the team&8217;s only field goal of the quarter. The Saints struggled against Huntington&8217;s press in the full-court and the 2-3 zone in the half-court despite leading at the start of the fourth.

Stevan Ridley picked up his third foul at the start of the third and spent time on the bench. He finished with six points.

&8220;We played real hard,&8221; Trinity head coach David King said. &8220;That&8217;s what happens when you have five basketball players against five football players. Things sort of got unraveled there at the end. Our ball handling is suspect. We just tried to dribble through it for some reason. You can&8217;t do that.&8221;

The Saints used a solid run in the third quarter to get a lead as big as eight points on the Hounds, who also had their star player in foul trouble when Jordan spent nearly the entire second quarter on the bench.

Hayden Butts&8217; bucket ignited a 9-0 run that put the score 36-28 with 3:35 left thanks to a Matthew Freeman basket. The lead got to 38-30 before the Hounds got baskets from Brandt Bradley and Dunbar to trim the deficit to four.
