PREP ROUNDUP: Blue Streaks win game at Cavs' arena

CLEVELAND — Sandusky pulled away in the middle two quarters to defeat Indian Hill 52-44 on Tuesday afternoon at Rocket Arena. Sandusky and Indian Hill — located in suburban Cincinnati — were tied 10-10 after one quarter. The Streaks led 19-15 at halftime before outscoring the Braves 18-13 in the third period. "I was really pleased with our effort," Sandusky coach DeMar Moore said. "It was pretty quiet in there and there were a lot of distractions. We didn't have a locker room to get dressed in, that kind of stuff." Ta'Verieon Myers, a 6-foot-1 junior, came off the bench to lead the Blue Streaks with 14 points. Kymirr Hunter added 12 points as Sandusky won at the NBA arena that the Cleveland Cavaliers call home. "(Myers) was a great spark off the bench," Moore said. "He had great energy and knocked down some shots. He was very solid." Moore also was pleased with the defense of 6-6 senior Anthony Redding, who had a strong game on the boards and blocked several shots. "He was all over the place," Moore said. "He dominated the paint and made it tough for them to score." The Streaks attended the Cavaliers-Pelicans game later Tuesday. Sandusky improved to 3-4 and are off until Saturday when they travel to Lyndhurst Brush. "After the last two games (losses to Perkins and Lakewood St. Edward), it's good to get any kind of win," Moore said.
