The Collinsville Pirates and the Tioga Bulldogs boys basketball teams met on the hardwood for the first time of the year, with the Pirates taking the district matchup 51-36.
The Pirates came out firing on all cylinders, taking an early lead and never looking back to beat the rival Bulldogs by double digits.
“We brought the intensity tonight, and that was great to see,” said Clint Davidson, Collinsville head boys basketball coach. “Our defense was good, and we put pressure on them, and I think that got to them. You can see we didn’t score a lot of points, but we held them to a low number, and that’s our whole motto, playing defense.”
