MONROE, La. — A last-minute addition to the Ruston High (7-7) boys’ basketball schedule ended up with a win for head coach Ryan Bond and his crew over the Carroll Bulldogs Friday, Dec. 23, at the Holiday Hoopfest on the campus of Wossman High School.
The Bearcats cruised to a 75-50 win after three separate Bearcats scored in double-digits.
“The guys played well,” Bond said. “Our defensive effort was great. Joran Parker was very good on both ends of the floor. We had some guys sick and nicked up, but they battled.”
The ‘Cats led 30-23 at the half before outscoring the Bulldogs 45-27 in the second half.
Parker led all scorers with 17 points, while senior Zhy Scott finished with 14. Junior Aidan Anding added 12 points.

Ruston returns to action Thursday, Dec. 28, at the West Monroe tournament.
