The Belton Tigers JV basketball team delivered a commanding performance on the court, securing a decisive 78-34 victory over the La Grange Leopards. From the opening tip-off, the Tigers established their dominance by applying relentless defensive pressure that stifled the Leopards' offense. This defensive intensity transitioned seamlessly into a high-powered offense, allowing Belton to sprint out to a massive 49-12 lead by halftime. The team's ability to turn defensive stops into quick transition points left La Grange struggling to find any rhythm throughout the first two quarters.

The scoring effort was remarkably balanced, with four different players reaching double digits to keep the pressure on the Leopards. Taj Keeler led the charge for the Tigers, putting up a team-high 15 points and setting the pace for the rest of the squad. By maintaining their focus through the second half, Belton ensured there was no room for a comeback, finishing the game with a 44-point margin. This win showcases the Tigers' depth and defensive identity as they continue their 2025-2026 season.
