A balanced scoring effort gave the Fishers boys basketball team its first win of the season on Tuesday.
The Tigers beat Muncie Central 84-61 at the Tiger Den. Fishers got off to a great start, leading 23-11 after the first quarter. The Tigers led 42-29 at halftime, but the Bearcats cut into that advantage slightly after three periods, 52-44.
But the Tigers took care of business in the fourth quarter, scoring 32 points. Five players reached double figures: Willie Jackson scored 15 points, Josiah Matthews and Alex Szilagyi both added 12, and Luke Hernandez and Terry Hicks both scored 10. Szilagyi and Hernandez each made two 3-pointers.
Fishers is now 1-2 for the season and will play at Noblesville on Friday. The game will be the first Hoosier Crossroads Conference matchup for both teams.
