The Troy boys' basketball used a 12-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to put away Southern Columbia, 64-46, in the District IV, Class AAA semi-finals.
"These guys have been all in," Troy coach Bob Woodward said. "It's not just right now, these guys have done the right thing with our work ethic, and how they care about each other. Obviously, we're excited because District IV, Class AAA is a tough bracket."
Troy led throughout, with the Tigers cutting the deficit to nine points with just over five minutes to go. Over the next two minutes Troy extended their lead to 21 points and never looked back.
Offensively Troy took advantage of the free throw line, going 22-for-25 on the night, including 12-for-14 in the fourth quarter as they protected their lead.
Jack Burbage had a double-double of 23 points and 13 rebounds for the Trojans, while Lincoln Chimics finished with 23 points, eight boards, and three steals.
Trey Teribury had six points, and four assists, as Woodward notched five points, six assists, and two steals.
