The PCA Paladins defeated the Muddy River Counselors 83-52 Saturday morning on the road in Raymond, MS.
The Counselors jumped out to an early 7-4 lead, but turnovers and empty possessions caused the Counselors to fall behind and eventually out of the game. PCA went on a huge run in the third quarter behind hot shooting from Drew Boggs and Daniel Cooper.
