The Belton Freshman Red basketball team put on a clinic Friday afternoon, delivering a masterclass in two-way basketball with a convincing 73-32 victory over La Grange. The Tigers set the tone early with a relentless, hard-nosed defense that stifled the Leopards and directly fueled a high-octane transition offense.

It was a true total-team effort, with the scoring column reflecting the Tigers' depth and unselfish play. Bentley Stauffer spearheaded the offensive explosion with a game-high 18 points. He was joined in double figures by Ja'reus Mitchell, who poured in 16 points, and Braylen King, who added 13 points of his own.

The lopsided win showcased what happens when the Tigers' defensive intensity matches their offensive execution. By turning stops into scores, Belton never allowed La Grange to find a rhythm, cruising to one of their most complete wins of the season.
