Patrick Henry broke open a tight game with a 7-0 run in the final minute of the first half and it was a prelude of things to come as the Patriots defeated Martinsville 81-52 Tuesday night on the Woody Deans Court.
The 36-25 advantage at the break mushroomed quickly in the third quarter, and PH was able to coast to the easy win over the outmanned Bulldog squad.
B.J. Hamlett led the PH attack with 24 points, Jamel Tucker added 12, and Darius Cunningham scored 11. Marcus Banks rounded out the Patriots in double digits, chipping in 10. PH improved to 4-0.
