Pryce Johnson scored six of his team-best 18 points as part of a 16-7 fourth-quarter run that helped the Delaware Christian boys basketball team pull away for a 45-36 MOCAL win over host Granville Christian Tuesday night.

Johnson started the quarter on the bench, weighed down by four fouls. With the Lions making a late push, though, DCS coach Jon Landrum knew he had to go back to him.

“I put him back in around the 5:30 mark,” he said. “We just couldn’t rebound when he wasn’t on the floor, and he was unstoppable in the post. We also changed up defenses and forced a few more turnovers with pressure.”

The Eagles (4-9, 3-3) finished both halves well, outscoring the Lions (6-6, 2-3) 17-6 in the second quarter after falling into a 13-6 hole after one.

Curtis Bean backed Johnson with 11 points in the win.
