SEYMOUR - It was a close game through the first half Friday night, but in the second, the Fulton Falcons proved to be too much for the Seymour Eagles.
The Falcons beat the Eagles 75-45, behind Fulton’s Jalen Steele, a future Division I basketball player.
Carlton Logue scored the first basket of the game to put the Eagles on top 2-0. The Eagles led 12-11 after the first quarter.
James Gallman, who has signed to play college basketball at Middle Tennessee State University, hit a 3-point basket to put the Falcons up 27-18 in the second.
Greg Korlin then hit a 15-foot jump shot to take the game into halftime with a score of 27-20.
With 4:49 left in the third quarter, Reggie Garrett’s dunk got Fulton’s fans on their feet and got the Falcons pumped up.
Steele hit one of his four 3-pointers to put the Falcons on top 53-29. After an ugly third for the Eagles, they were down 53-31.
They were outscored by 15 in the third.
Fulton got out to a lead of up to 32 in the fourth quarter, before winning by 30.
“We started out well; the emotional win last night against Sevier took a toll on us. We were emotionally worn out,” said Coach Kevin Windle. “Give credit to them, they are a good team.”
Logue led the Eagles with 19 points and Korlin added 10.
Steele had a game high 23 points for Fulton and Gallman added 17 for the defending State Champion Falcons.
Fulton improved their record to 16-3 and 4-1 in the district, while Seymour dropped to 7-9 and 0-4. Fulton is ranked number five in the state in Class AA.
