LAFAYETTE, La. — Dearius Griffin scored 17 points to lead Natchez High, but it wasn’t enough as the St. Thomas Aquinas (La.) Falcons pulled away in the second half to defeat the Bulldogs Tuesday night at the 2011 Sunkist Shootout at St. Thomas More Catholic High School.

St. Thomas Aquinas rallied in the second quarter to take a 24-23 halftime lead and then went on score 15 points in the third quarter and 19 in the fourth.
