COMANCHE — The Indians picked it up in the second half and knocked off Kingston 50-40 in a make-up game Monday night. Clayton Bennett turned in a strong outing with 15 points and Josh Peevy knocked down three 3-pointers to lead the Indians to the win.
“It was our first full game without our point guard (Zac Young) and you could tell early that we weren’t getting out and running like we had been,” Comanche coach Nick Price said. “I think Tyler (Olheiser) will be fine at point guard for us.
“Clayton Bennett had a big second quarter for us and we went up 19-17 at the half and led the rest of the game.”
Comanche will be back in action tonight when it faces Marietta.
