An unprecedented run did in Perryville on Friday night.
Perryville kept up with Scott City for much of the first half, but the second half was a different story as Scott City turned up the pressure and ran away, handing the Pirates a 74-49 defeat at Perryville High School.
Perryville hung with a 17-win Rams team and had the lead in the second quarter after a pair of three-pointers by Jake Cissell and Waylon Huber to take a 21-19 advantage. Huber scored in the final minute of the first half to give Perryville the 28-26 lead going into halftime.
Even in the beginning of the second half, Perryville got a three from Huber and scored the first five points of the third quarter to go up 33-26.
However, from there it was all Scott City as the Rams went into a full court press and turned the Pirates over multiple times, converting them into baskets.
