The Casey-Westfield Warriors broke open a close game in the second half and snapped the Red Hill Basketball Salukis eight game winning streak 64-50 Wednesday night in Bridgeport. The hosts led 12-9 after one quarter and the game was still tight with Casey leading 26-23 at the half. But the Warriors gradually began to assume control of the game in the second half and had a 50-38 lead after three quarters and held off the Salukis in the final period. Drew Moore has 27 points and Parker Havill 11 in the loss while Luke Richards led Casey with 28. With the loss, the Salukis fall to 12-5 and 1-2 in Little Illini Conference play while Casey is now 14-1 overall and 2-0 in conference action. The Salukis will hit the road Friday for another LIC tilt at Newton.
