Pearland continued their dominance by scoring 19 points in the second quarter while limiting Rayburn to eight points for a 37-16 halftime lead.

Head coach Delrick Brown emptied his bench in the second half to make the win a total team effort.

The Oilers outscored the visitors 10-6 in the third quarter and closed out the district contest 6-2 in the fourth period for the 53-24 win.

Devan Brown led the Oilers offensive attack with 14 points while getting help from Byron Bibbs (11 points) and Tyylon Ennis (10 points).

The Oilers shot 60% from the field (15-og-25) but only made 2-of-10 (20%) from the free throw line. They also hit 7-of-22 from the 3-point arc (31.8%).

Pearland 61 - Alvin 51

For years, Pearland roundballers have dominated the Alvin Yellowjackets but there has been noticeable improvement as they have challenged the Oilers this season.

The outcome has been the same as Pearland has beaten the Jackets in both of their district encounters, but Alvin has been much more competitive.
