COCHRANTON, Pa. — Cochranton had four players in double figures in a 71-49 Region 3 win over visiting Eisenhower Tuesday.

Cochranton (5-14 overall, 5-5 Region 3) led by just three, 17-14, after the first quarter, but exploded for 21 points in the second to open a 38-26 halftime lead over Eisenhower (6-12, 3-7).

The Cardinals outscored the Knights by 10 in the second half.

Jaiben Walker finished with 19 points in the win. Jon Gallo and Wyatt Barzak had 14 each and Tyler George added 11 in the win.

Jared Martone had a game-high 26 points for the Knights. Zane Alexander was the only other Eisenhower player in double figures with 11 points.
