TANNER, Ala. Pearl River men's basketball team took the lead on its second possession and never looked back in an 84-62 victory Tuesday at Calhoun Community College. The Wildcats offense was propelled by Austin Green (Sickerville, N.J.; Timber Creek Regional) with 27 points and Ta'zir Smith (Woodbridge, Va.; Virginia Academy) adding 26.

"It is always good to end the semester with a win," Pearl River head coach Chris Oney said. "It was good to have Taz out there; we are a different team with him in the fold. He opens the floor for the other guys."

I am looking forward to the guys getting back. Once again, I got a chance to see what I saw back in October. I know they are excited. I am looking forward to enjoying this little time off but can't wait to get back and get it back going and headed in the right direction."
