Kennett, led by a 30-point effort by Dustin Pritchett, dealt a 64-49 loss to Cape Central Friday night at Tiger Field House.

Pritchett, the only Kennett player in double figures, scored 12 of hits points in the first quarter when the Indians took a 22-8 lead.

Cape Central coach Brett Reutzel said Pritchett isn't usually Kennett's top offensive player. The Tigers concerned themselves instead with Kennett's main inside threats.

"We did a good job collapsing inside, but the kid was on fire," said Reutzel, who saw his team fall to 2-8.

The first quarter proved pivotal as Central was outscored just 42-41 over the final three quarters. Kennett led 38-22 at halftime and 55-38 entering the fourth quarter.
