Webb City rolled from the word go, jumping out to a 22-6 start and never looking back in a 74-41 victory over Willard on Tuesday night at the Cardinal Dome.

"We were playing extremely hard," Cardinals coach Jason Horn said on the radio broadcast. "We were probably not playing as smart as we needed to play — a little out of control and a little too fast. But we settled down, and we started making the read instead of just, 'Hey, I assume this is going to be here, so I'm just going to throw it. This is the way it's going to work out.' It's all about making reads on offense and playing fast but under control."

The Cardinals (14-5) shot 52% (31 of 59) from the floor. Webb City featured five players in double figures, with Trenton Hayes capturing team honors with 14 points while Luke Brumit and Nickhai Howard added 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Cohl Vaden and Alex Martin chipped in 10 each.

Hayden Roberts posted a game-high 16 points for Willard (6-13). Webb City hosts Branson at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
