Patrick Henry's Patriots knocked down 10 three-pointers as they routed the home-standing Pulaski County Cougars by a count of 69-34 on Wednesday, January 27th.

Leading 33-21 at halftime, the Patriots went on a 24-0 run to take an overwhelming 57-22 lead going into the final stanza. From there, Coach Jack Esworthy was able to empty his bench as the team cruised and moved to 2-1 overall.

The Patriots held the Cougars scoreless until the final thirty seconds of the third quarter and allowed just one point for the period. Leading their attack was senior guard Jamonte 'Bird' Smith, an All-State performer in Class 5 last winter. Smith had a game-high 18 points, followed by 17 from junior Jack Faulkner and 15 courtesy of sophomore Brooks Derey.

Faulkner stroked five three-pointers for the contest with four of those coming before half-time. Smith did most of his damage in the second half, scoring 14 points after intermission.
