* BOYS
CHENEY - The Lakeland Hawks went on an 18-0 run in the second quarter to erase a 10-point deficit after the first quarter, taking a halftime lead they did not relinquish in a 52-40 nonleague win over the Cheney Blackhawks in the season opener for both teams Tuesday night.
Blackhawks post Brett Wyborney was held to nine points, all in the first quarter.
"We kept the ball away from their big guy," Lakeland assistant coach Bill Ryan said. "We did a better job of denying him the ball. Jake Plunkett did a nice job of guarding him."
Lakeland guard Tyrel Derrick finished with 20 points and six assists. Plunkett scored 13 points and had six rebounds.
Keenan Williams led Cheney with 11 points.
