The Holbrook boys pushed their season mark to 10-0 with a road win over Payson last Thursday night.
Abrian Dickson got off the bus launching treys, connecting of four in the first period alone, which, combined with a pair of free throws, gave him 14 of the Roadunners’ 20 points in the first eight minutes, leaving them with a 10-point lead over the Longhorns. In the second Nathan Johnson took over on the inside, netting nine of his 11 in the frame and helping the Birds build a 39-25 halftime advantage.
In the third Miireux Begaii got into the act as he hit for seven points to make the gap even wider. Payson finally outscored the visiting Birds in the fourth period, but Holbrook still netted 20 more in the 71-56 final outcome.
Dickson led all scorers with 28 points, including seven three-point bombs. Begaii added 16 and Johnson also scored in double figures with 11. Elliot Pete added 8; Benson Davis and Hayden Kinlichee, 3 each; and Brandon Kester hit both of his free throw attempts.
In total, Holbrook connected on 10 treys and went 11 for 15 at the line.
Payson hit four treys and converted eight of 13 charity tosses.
The Roadrunners will host Ganado on Thursday, Dec. 17, and Fountain Hills on Friday, Dec. 18, then will welcome Prescott on Monday, Dec. 21, in their final action before Christmas.
