WOODVILLE — De’Arius Griffin led Natchez High with a game-high 21 points as the Bulldogs rolled to a 73-36 win over the Wilkinson County High School Wildcats Tuesday night.
Defense was a key factor in Natchez High more than doubling up Wilkinson County. The Bulldogs held the Wildcats to single-digit scoring in both the second and third quarters and gave up just 10 points in the first quarter and 11 points in the fourth.
And the Bulldogs forced several turnovers throughout the game, which led to easy lay-ups and slam dunks.
Keylan Wimley finished with 16 points and Lorenzo Smith contributed with 13 points for Natchez High.
Natchez High (2-0) plays host to South Pike at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Wilkinson County plays at Amite County at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
