Everyone got involved, early and often. Tallulah Falls cruised past Fideles Christian in the Indians’ 81-62 blowout season- and home opener on Tuesday. Playing in throwback uniforms in their old gym, TFS flexed the power of the current and future lineups.
Fideles Christian never got within reach, as Tallulah Falls raced out to a 24-8 first quarter. Hayden Bootle hit a 3-pointer as part of a 9-point quarter for the senior.
In the second, the visitors rallied a bit, but TFS still held a sizable 49-27 advantage. Brian Neely, Jr. had eight points in the quarter. Though FC won the second half, Tallulah’s starters gave way to the bench to finish out the last quarter-plus.
Neely finished with a game-high 15 points. 12 different players scored points. Bootle, Todor Stanimirovic, and Kayra Aksu each chipped in with nine. Noah Massong (8 pts) and Tomas Bogusevicius (7) were followed by Marquis Rolle, Alberto Battino, Judah McIntosh (each with 5), Bryson Perdue (4), Neyo Bain (2), and Brantley Addison (1).
The Indians start out 1-0.
