The defensive pressure that Mexico Bulldogs applied on ball handlers proved too troublesome for Harrisburg to handle Tuesday during first round action of the Macon Tournament.
Deflections and turnovers were awarded, leading to several Mexico points scored in transition and the scheme helped the Bulldogs pull away with a 64-52 triumph over Harrisburg.
Isaiah Reams led Mexico boys with 15 points. The Bulldog boys meet Kirksville in the 6 p.m. semifinal Thursday.
Coincidentally, on Monday evening the same schools met in a girls first round contest where Mexico also emerged the victor winning 51-33. Mexico girls battle Moberly in the 7:30 p.m. semifinal Wednesday.
