The lead grew in the third quarter as Morristown failed to get its offense in gear. The Tigers led 45-15 after three quarters.

Triton Central shot 45% from the field but struggled from beyond the 3-point arc, hitting just 2 of 21 attempts.

Alex Crouse led the Tigers with seven assists.

Franklin Central transfers Isaac Morgan and Luke Faust combined for 12 points, nine rebounds and three steals in their TC debuts.

Triton Central hosts Shelbyville (1-0) Saturday in Fairland.
