For the second straight game, the St. Anthony Bulldogs used an offensive explosion to break a game open.

Tuesday night, it was 26-point second period that sparked the Bulldogs to a win at South Central.

Wednesday night, it was a huge second half that made the difference at Dieterich.

St. Anthony outscored the Movin’ Maroons 33-14 in the final two quarters to pull away and post a 60-30 road win that kept the Bulldogs undefeated in the National Trail Conference play.

SAHS led throughout. Kennan Walsh scored six points, helping the Bulldogs build a 16-6 lead after the opening eight minutes. The two teams played on even terms in the second quarter. At halftime, St. Anthony led 27-16.

But the Bulldogs came out red hot in the third period. Craig Croy drilled a pair from long range and scored 12 points, while Walsh added seven more, and the lead started to expand. St. Anthony outscored the Movin’ Maroons 21-10 and held a comfortable 48-26 lead heading into the final quarter.

Croy led the scoring attack with a game-high 17 points and Walsh finished with 16.

St. Anthony improved to 6-2 overall and 4-0 in the NTC. The Bulldogs will play at home Friday against Windsor/Stew-Stras and then travel to Flora on Saturday.
