Harrison gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They took their game with ease, bagging a 74-46 victory over the Benton Central Bison. The Raiders have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bison, too.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Harrison to victory, but perhaps none more so than Malachi King, who almost dropped a double-double on 17 points and nine rebounds. The matchup was King's fifth in a row with at least ten points. Another player making a difference was Ray Gibson, who went 5 for 10 en route to 12 points plus five assists.
Benton Central's loss ended a four-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 2-1.
Harrison didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next contest, a 57-44 win against Lafayette Jefferson on the 6th. Benton Central has also already played their next match (against Harrison), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
