Thursday, February 20, 2014

BUFFALO -- Uniontown's boys drubbed winless Altoona-Midway, 68-22, here Tuesday night in Three Rivers League play.

The Eagles led 12-7 after one period and increased the margin to 35 points at the half after a 30-point second quarter.

"I was very pleased with how we bounced back from a tough game (Monday) night," Uniontown head coach Jeremy Neville said. "We were able to create some fast break opportunities which led to scoring outbursts in the second and third quarters. We shared the ball well and everyone scored."

Joseph Duffey led the Eagles (4-4 TRL, 8-10 overall) with 16 points. Tyler Johns added 11.

Altoona-Midway (0-5, 0-14) lost for the 38th consecutive time in league play and the 34th straight time overall. Their last victory came in 2012 Class 1A-Division I Sub-State play over Longton-Elk Valley, which was also winless going into that Sub-State.

The Jets' last league win was against St. Paul on Feb. 12, 2009.
