Howard s baseball team celebrates its 19-3 win over east Ridge. - photo by Joseph Dycus It was a scene repeated dozens of times over the course of the blustery evening; shortstop Jacobi Dixson standing on first, taking a massive lead, and then accelerating like a rocket into second base before the throw could get in from the catcher. And then Dixson crouching at second, taking another huge lead, and then swiping third right after that. And finally, Dixson inevitably waltzing into home after a teammate made weak contact on an ensuing at bat.

The third quarter belonged to Kerrick Thorne, whose 6’7 frame was everywhere and did everything for a Howard Hustlin’ Tigers squad that blew open what was a close game against the visiting Brainerd Panthers. The 23-20 halftime lead became a 61-47 win because of his interior scoring, passing, and defense in the second half.
Coming out of the locker room, Howard’s Xavier Fisher drove into the middle, and dumped off a pass to Thorne, who softly feathered it in. After helping force a turnover, Thorne drove the ball from the perimeter, threw the ball off the backboard, caught the rebound, and tipped in two more. Brainerd’s coach called a quick timeout to slow the bleeding, but the deficit only grew after that.
