Mario Tolbert had six assists and five steals off the bench and K.C. Christian had five assists and three steals in one half of work.

"We played a little better defensively. We were in the passing lanes and we did a better job screening out. We were able to take away their second shots," Redmen coach Marty Mills said.

"DePriest saw the floor well and did a good job on the boards. Artie played a typical game. He played hard. K.C. only played the first half and did a nice job seeing the floor. Mario Tolbert came in and did a nice job."

Rock Hill (3-3) raced to a 22-4 first quarter lead and never looked back. The lead was 29-16 at the break.

Snavely scored 10 points in the third quarter as Rock Hill outscored the Defenders 26-4 to build an insurmountable 55-20 lead.

"Our overall team effort was good. We're pleased with our effort," Mills said.

Conrad Buffington had 15 points to lead Ohio Valley Christian, 1-6.
