The South Point Pointers understood what Rafiki meant when he said in “The Lion King” movie that, “It is time.”

After another heart-breaking loss at Fairland on Friday, the Pointers got a much-needed win on Tuesday as they rolled past the Greenup County Musketeers 67-52.

“We needed to get a win. We were due,” said Pointers’ coach Gary Norris. “We were concerned with bouncing back and we did.”

The Pointers had four players in double figures led by Jordan Fletcher with a career-high 16 points. Chase Kratzenberg scored 13, Kevin Davis 11 and Drew Lynd 10.

Chris Baker scored 16, Trey Williams 13, and Ryan Adkins 11 to lead Greenup County (12-11).

South Point led 15-14 at the end of the first quarter, then held Greenup to only four points in the second quarter as the Pointers surged ahead 32-18 at the half.

The Musketeers outscored the Pointers 23-16 in the third quarter to trail 48-41, Lynd had six points in the quarter.

“We played okay, but we didn’t play well in the third quarter,” said Norris.

Kratzenberg scored five points in the fourth quarter as the Pointers continued to open up their lead.

Baker scored 10 points in the quarter for Greenup.
