Nate Garrett-Evans led the Trojans with 18 points with Dezmon Jackson contributing 12.

"It was a good bounce-back win for us after losing to Bearden," said PC coach Trey Lynch. "It feels a lot better to go 2-1 in these three-game tournaments than 1-2."

The Lady Trojans never got out of the blocks. Lakeside outscored PC 22-4 in the first quarter and led 32-8 at the half.

"We were just outmatched physically and athletically by a 5A team that's pretty good. We played hard but when you're playinga team that is athletic and talented as that, it exposes the things you don't do well. We're still trying to get some things fixed and they certainly gave us a lot to work on."
