HONAKER, Va. — Tanner Robinette gets his share of the credit for Honaker's 19-0 start and deservedly so.
The 6-foot-8 senior's athletic supporting cast gets its share, too, and with good reason. Honaker smothered Twin Valley all night in a 71-28 Crooked Road Conference win Friday night at A.P. Baldwin Gymnasium.
Robinette was the leader, as usual, on both ends of the floor. He posted a triple-double with game-highs of 23 points, 26 rebounds and 10 blocks.
Honaker (19-0) held the Panthers (8-7) to eight points in the entire second half to remain undefeated and move one step closer to a CRC regular season title.
"I was tremendously pleased with our defensive effort here tonight," Honaker coach Marcus Dunham said. "We emphasized defense yesterday in practice. We wanted to throw a couple of different looks at them."
No one scored in double figures for Twin Valley.
Brett Boyd provided the short-handed Tigers with enough offense on his own in the first half. The freshman wing hit five 3-pointers and scored all of his 18 points before the intermission.
The Tigers opened the game on a 13-2 run.
