Troy then put the clamps on Williamson, holding them to two points in the third quarter as they extended their lead to 22-14 after three quarters.

The Warriors rallied in the final frame scoring eight points on a game high three field goals. Troy didn’t have a field goal but did enough from the free throw line - 4-for-8 - in the quarter to hold off Williamson for the win.

Taylor Rae-Jones led the Warriors with nine points.

Troy will be in action next on Tuesday as they host defending NTL Large School champions Towanda with a 6 p.m. start.
