FERRIDAY &8212; Huntington&8217;s Ples Arthur made several big baskets in the second quarter and at the end of the game to give the Hounds a 59-50 win over the River Oaks Mustangs in a battle for first place in District 7-A Tuesday night.

Arthur&8217;s clutch shooting enabled Huntington, ranked No. 5 in Class A, to overcome not only an off night by Antonio Jordan, mostly due to foul trouble, but also a 22-point outburst by River Oaks in the third quarter.

Jordan, who scored just seven points, picked up two quick fouls early and another pair of fouls in the third quarter. That meant someone had to pick up the slack. That someone was Arthur, who finished with a game-high 27 points.
