    CARMINE – A big third quarter surge carried the Sacred Heart Indians to a 57-38 victory over Round Top-Carmine Friday night.

    The Indians had a onepoint lead at the half prior to a 20-1 run in the third quarter to take a 41-21 advantage into the final eight minutes.

    SH shot 50% in the third period and forced 7 Cub turnovers. A pair of treys by Ty Noska and 5 points each from Marcus Seger and Shooter Laqua led the rally.

    Sam Bludau came off the bench to 9 points and Noska also scored 9 points.

    The Indians shot 68.7% from the foul line, making 11 of 16 attempts.
