On a night where they honored 10 seniors, the Matilda Torres Toros boys basketball team didn’t want to send their seniors out with a loss and came back for a 47-43 victory over the Sanger West Hornets on Tuesday. 

The Toros found themselves on a the wrong end of a low scoring first half. After going into the half to reset, the Toros outscored the Hornets 36-19 in the second half for the Senior Night victory. The Toros also forced 17 second half turnovers while only committing four. 

However, it was a different story in the first half. Sanger West jumped out a 24-11 lead after a 17-8 second quarter. The Toros shot just 4-of-28 (14 percent) from the field and were just 3-of-10 from the free throw line.
