The game began as a competitive defensive struggle, with the Tigers heading into the locker room at halftime holding a steady 21-14 lead. While the Lions remained within striking distance during the first two quarters, Belton’s disciplined play ensured they maintained control of the tempo heading into the break.
The second half told a completely different story as the Tigers returned to the floor "on a mission." Belton ramped up their defensive intensity, applying relentless pressure that stifled the Lions' offense and forced numerous turnovers. This defensive surge allowed the Tigers to ignite their transition game and rapidly extend their lead. Hunter Hurst paced the offensive attack for Belton, finishing as the team's leading scorer with 14 points, consistently finding ways to break through the Waco defense.
A significant factor in the blowout win was the exceptional play from the Belton bench. The second unit entered the game and immediately matched the starters' energy, keeping the intensity high and preventing Waco from finding any rhythm. This total team effort not only widened the gap on the scoreboard but also showcased the depth of the Belton Tigers roster. With this momentum behind them, the Tigers look to carry this high-energy defensive identity into their upcoming matchups.
