The top-ranked Class 4A Fishers Tigers wasted no time at 4A Franklin Central on Friday, Jan. 30.
Up 14-5 after the first quarter, junior Cooper Zachary made certain the margin never grew closer with a historic performance from 3-point range through the second and third frames.
Zachary buried 10 of 11 attempts from beyond the arc, which set a school record for most 3-pointers made in a single game, and led the Tigers to a 76-28 victory.
Zachary finished with a game-high 36 points, as Fishers improved to 17-0 overall and 5-0 in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference.
Zachary sank four 3-pointers in the second quarter en route to a 16-point outburst followed by six 3-pointers in the third for 24 points. He also went 4-for-4 from the free throw line.
Senior Kai McGrew had seven points, and senior Ethan Hillsman provided 12 points. Both junior Levi Walker and senior Torey Breland had six points apiece.
Currently, Zachary owns the school’s career records for most steals, assists and 3-pointers by any player in program history.
