For a quarter, Tullahoma was able to keep pace with Siegel. Then the Stars took over and ran away from the Wildcats’ winning the 2012-13 season-opener 76-48.
Tullahoma led 19-16 at the end of the first period, but Siegel’s Ryan Jones scored 11 of his 14 points in the second quarter to help the Stars pull away. Siegel outscored Tullahoma 26-9 in the period and took a 42-28 lead to the lockerroom at the half.
The outcome was never in doubt after that and Siegel went on to hand first-year Tullahoma High School coach Tim Behrendorff his first loss.
The Wildcats got a 15-point effort from Marquel Hickerson and 10 points from Tyler Fishback, but it was hardly enough to Siegel’s Jones, Robert Brandon and Charles Clark.
The Stars’ trio combined for 57 points, with Brandon lighting up the THS scoreboard for 28. Brandon knocked down five of Siegel’s six 3-pointers and had 18 points by halftime. Clark added 15 points in the contest.
