SPRINGFIELD - Heading into the 59th
Annual Blue and Gold Tournament, it was
well known that the Glendale Falcons
were a good shooting team.

On Wednesday, the Falcons put on a
shooting clinic en route to an 85-56 win
over the Branson Pirates. Glendale hit 12
three-pointers, including six in the
second quarter.

"They shot the ball well and we didn't,"
said Branson head coach Randy Bishop.
"We also had trouble guarding them and
we gave up a lot of open shots."

Down by six points, 14-8, at the end of
the first quarter, the Pirates fell behind
even further as the Falcons went on a
32-22 run to build a 46-30 halftime lead.
The rest was history as Glendale cruised
in the second half.

"Offensively, we took some shots we
probably shouldn't have," Bishop said.
"(Glendale) was a lot quicker than us. It
was just one of those games."

Branson was led by Zac Morgan's 16
points and Brett Walster's 10.

Glendale was led by Jeff Lewis, who
scored 26 points.

Glendale's 12 three-pointers set a new
Gold Division record.
