HONAKER, Va. — If you wanted to see a massive display of firepower, you needed to hang around for the Crooked Road Conference boys championship game.
It was quite a battle between Honaker post Tanner Robinette and Twin Valley guard Tayten Sykes. Robinette set a Honaker High School record with 53 points and Sykes dropped in 40 points for the Panthers in the Tigers’ 83-67 win for the Crooked Road Conference boys tournament title.
“It was a great night,” Robinette said. “But our backs were against the wall, I had to step it up or we were going to lose. I didn’t care about the points, I just wanted to get the win.”
Sykes drove inside converting a reverse layup, to give Twin Valley a 59-56 advantage with 6:56 left to play in the game. Robinette scored 10 points, as the Tigers went on a 14-0 run as a three-point deficit quickly became a 10-point advantage.
Robinette also had 14 rebounds. Brent Coleman added 10 points, five rebounds, six steals and seven assists in the win. Tanner Wagner (12 points) and Cole Payne (10) were also in double-figures for the Panthers.
Honaker will host Fort Chiswell and Twin Valley travels to George Wythe.
