Douglas boys' basketball coach Corey Thacker has been stressing balance to his team all season.


Balanced scoring. Balanced defense. Balanced effort.


The Tigers got a little bit of it all Friday night against Wooster as all 12 players put points on the board in a 78-42 win over the Colts in Minden.


"Our big thing is just trying to form good habits," Thacker said. "I thought we did a pretty good job with ball pressure tonight. We've been working on staying consistent, no matter what team, no matter what game.


"We have to go as hard as we can for 32 minutes. Our goals is just to keep trying to get better."


Freshman Hunter Myers led the team with 22 points, becoming the first Tiger to eclipse the 20-point mark this year.


Austin Neddenriep had 14 points, Kameron VanWinkle and Matt Thomas each had seven, Jeremy Burkhart had six, Theo Denson had five, Jorey Scott and Garrett Getty each had four, Luis Pina-Duarte had three and Chris Downs, Nick Maestretti and Brett Anderson each had two in the win.


The Tigers never trailed in the game and outscored the Colts 22-8 in the final quarter.


"We were getting good looks off our penetration and that opened things up for us," Thacker said.
