ROCKINGHAM — It took until the third quarter for the Richmond Senior High School boys’ basketball team to break Tuesday’s game open in its favor.
Completing a three-team sweep of Pine Forest High School to begin Mid-South Conference play, the Raiders rolled to a 61-45 win.
The game was also the latest edition of the Jason Norton Classic, which paid tribute to the former coach and athletic director.
Leading by two points at the half, Richmond used an 11-0 run to start the third quarter to distance themselves for good.
Scoring double-digits were senior Jayden Hamilton (14 points), senior Amer Morrison (12 points) and junior Josiah Brewington (11 points).
