really pleased with our effort on both ends after halftime.” Clinging to a seven-point lead at halftime Dale came out of the break with a statement The Pirates exploded on a 16-0 run to start the third quarter Senior forward Jett Higdon added 13 points and seven rebounds as Dale kept its foot on the gas the rest of the way Dale improved to 29-2 on the season and extended its winning streak to
