The Mounties scored the final eight points of the first half and never trailed the rest of the way.

Drew Miller scored all eight points in the Mounties' 8-0 run, which snapped a 21-21 tie. Miller's 3-pointer with 3 minutes, 34 seconds left in the third quarter gave his team a 24-21 lead it would not relinquish.

Springdale (9-6, 3-1) put together a charge late when Rogers misfired from the free throw line late, cutting a 14-point deficit to as few as six.

But senior Will Voigt hit four straight free throws in the waning seconds to put the game away.

Rogers coach Lamont Frazier likes the progress his young team is making. The Mounties' 13 wins is the most since the 2011-12 season when they finished 18-9.

"Our younger guys are continuing to improve," Frazier said. "I thought early on when they made the surge, our runs came with some of our youngest guys on the floor. That says a lot about them and the fact they're mature enough to handle these situations."

Elliot Paschal led all scorers with 21 points, while Miller added 11 for Rogers. Jajuan Boyd led Springdale with 15, while Tavari Eckwood added 12 and John Paul Hignite 10.
