“We got great production from our seniors tonight,” said 10th-year Lonoke coach Dean Campbell. “We shot it really well early and did a great job on defense.
“Russellville plays extremely hard and makes you play every defensive position.”
Lonoke outscored Russellville 25-14 in the first quarter. Tony Bryant scored 11 points in the first eight minutes, including hitting three 3-pointers. Tyriqe Jackson added nine. Nick Tate hit a 3-poiner and Isaiah Thomas hit two free throws.

“There are some things we have to fix on the defensive end but our overall effort tonight is what I’m probably most proud of,” Campbell said.
