FLOYDADA – The Floydada Whirlwinds used a 10-0 run to begin the second half and fought off the Ralls Jackrabbits in the fourth quarter to take a hard-fought win 64-59 at Whirlwind Gym on Friday. Floydada (19-2, 2-1) has now won their last two games in District 4-2A to jump past the Ralls Jackrabbits (16-7, 1-1) for second place in the standings behind the league-leading New Deal Lions (17-5, 2-0).

We came out in the third quarter with a lot of energy. It was a very important part of the ballgame. Ty Henderson was the spark,” said Floydada coach Anthony Carson.

Henderson led the Whirlwinds with a season-high 18-points and 11-rebounds for Floydada’s first double-double this season. Abran Castillo and Jayson Cooper also scored in the double-figures with 17 and 12-points respectively. Ralls was led by the game’s top two scorers in Ryno Garcia with 21 and Chris Luna’s 20 in a losing effort.

The Whirlwinds surge to begin the second half broke a 25-25 tie at halftime. Floydada outscored Ralls 22-12 in the third quarter, but the Jackrabbits would not go away easily by taking the fourth quarter 22-17.

Carson was very respectful of the effort given by Ralls. “We are glad to be 2-1 in district. Any win in district is a good win”, Carson added.
