FRANKLIN FURNACE - Future Green opponents might want to think about canceling halftime.

The Bobcats led the winless Portsmouth Notre Dame Titans just 26-15 at the half, then came out and outscored them 35-3 in the third quarter en route to an 80-22 rout Tuesday in a Southern Ohio Conference game.

"The third quarter we were able to press and turn them over and get some easy scores. That pretty much decided the ball game," Green coach Kevin Sheridan said.

Green opened the game by taking a 17-7 lead in the first quarter behind 9 points by Brian Ramey and 6 by Derek Lewis.

John Bowen had 4 points in the second quarter as Green outscored the Titans just 9-8.

But then came the third quarter.

John Dawson pumped in 12 points while Lewis and Ramey scored 7 each and the lead ballooned to 61-18.

Jason Bester had 7 of his 9 points and Bowen added 6 points for Green in the fourth quarter.

Ramey had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Bobcats (7-6, 5-3). Derek Lewis had 14 points, Dawson 12 and Bowen 10.
