Rams use balanced scoring to drop EF

Getting a nice balance in terms of scoring is a trademark of most successful basketball teams. 

It is that balance that will allow more flexibility up and down a lineup, and will typically net some great results.

The Ringgold boys basketball team had better balance than visiting Elizabeth Forward on Tuesday, helping pace the Rams past the Warriors, 59-45, in Section 3-4A action. 

Ringgold (12-3, 5-1) had three players finish in double figures led by Luke Wyvratt’s game-high 18 points. Chris Peccon had 13, nine of which came in the first quarter, while Demetrius Butler had 12 points. Jayden Taylor chipped in with eight.
