Boys Basketball Roundup: Arlington perfect from three-point range in win over Bluffton
BLUFFTON -- Someone from Bluffton should have gotten a few more hands in Jordan Freed's face Saturday night.

Freed was deadly from beyond the arc as he was 8 for 8 from three-point range to finish with a game-high 24 points as Arlington remained unbeaten with a 52-33 win over the host Pirates in the Bluffton McDonald's Holiday Tournament.

Allen East, meanwhile, got its first win in thrilling fashion as the Mustangs topped Cory-Rawson 65-64 in overtime in the consolation game.

Arlington's Andrew Hunter, who scored eight points with four rebounds and three steals, was named the tournament's most valuable player.

In the other game, Cory-Rawson (3-5) had a tough time containing Allen East's all-tournament selection Tanner Richardson. Richardson scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Mustangs. He scored six in overtime to secure the win.

Matt Shuey netted 10 points and Clay Plaugher added nine for Allen East (1-5).
