Mycah McDonald added 15, and Lovietta Walker and Tai Porchia each scored 12 points. Simran Mayfield put together a 6-point, 11-rebound, 2-assist night in helping AC’s ladies to their third win of the season.

Brianasia Owens led the Lady Jags with 27 points.

AC’s defense was none too shabby, forcing 23 Lady Jag turnovers and converting those into 20 points.

Riley Dewitz led AC with 13 points, knocking down a trio of three pointers. Travis Henson added 12 points, Christyon Eugene 11 and Dralyn Brown and Darius Smith pitched in with 10 points each to give the Roadrunners their first win of the young season.

After a bit of a sluggish first-half start, the Roadrunner offense ignited for an 8-0 run to close out the first half and extended that streak to open the second half to build a 20-point lead.

Every ‘Runner on the active roster found his way into the scoring column.
