Bentonville West 62, Rogers High 49

Brothers Dawson and Dillon Bailey combined for 46 points as West led from start to finish and upset Rogers in King Arena. Dawson Bailey had seven points as West (9-14, 3-7) took a quick 9-2 lead in the first 4½ minutes and finished with a game-high 23 points. Dillon Bailey scored six straight points to help the Wolverines pull away after Rogers (16-6, 6-4) had pulled with 54-49 on Drew Miller's three-point play with 1:45 remaining. "My guys are playing inspired," West coach Greg White said. "For whatever reason, they've turned things around, and I can't be more proud of them. "It feels like our program again. It's guys who are doing their role and doing what they are supposed to do. Dawson's had great games; Dillon had a great game. But we had minutes from everybody. We had guys come in and give us 3 seconds of defense, but the best 3 seconds they could give us." West led 24-17 at halftime, then scored 14 straight points for a 38-18 lead with 2:03 left in the third quarter. The Wolverines entered the fourth quarter with a 41-24 cushion, but Rogers (16-6, 6-4) picked up a rare four-point play by Elliot Paschal before Miller's three-point play made things close. Dillon Bailey finished with 21 for West, while Austin Conner added 13. Miller had 14 to lead Rogers before he fouled out, and Paschal chipped in 11.
