When Westbury Christian guard Tyler Guidry sunk a free throw with 27.7 seconds left, the visiting crowd let out raucous cheers. The Wildcats had just hit 100 points.

It's a cheer normally reserved for the Yates supporters. But on Monday it was the Wildcats who hit triple digits and held their opponent under said mark.

The Wildcats remained unbeaten and claimed the 71st annual Houston ISD Tournament championship, defeating Yates 103-91 on Monday at Delmar Fieldhouse.

It is the third Houston ISD Tournament title in the Wildcats' history.

"It means a lot because you've got some of the best teams in the city of Houston," Westbury Christian coach Russell Carr said. "It's good for us to be able to compete and know that we compete at a high level. It's rewarding."

The Wildcats (17-0) aren't typically the high-scoring type, but they knew they'd have to play that role in order to beat the Lions (11-2). Their collection of guards and wing players, led by point guard Anthony Collins (10 points, seven assists), Vasquez Haynes (10 points), Tyler Guidry (23 points, eight rebounds) and Devone Glenn (six points) were able to match the Lions tempo and push the ball up the floor for close looks at the basket.

With some deft passing and strong interior scoring from Delvin Dickerson (25 points, 12 rebounds) and Saro Ntagha (13 points, seven rebounds), the Wildcats were able to build a 56-44 lead.

"Coach always told us that if we practice like we play, it should be easy," Collins said. "If two people are coming at you, get the ball ahead and there's nothing that they can do."

The Lions were able to get the Wildcats into foul trouble in the second half. Haynes fouled out with 3:01 left in the third and Collins and Glenn exited in the fourth quarter. Still, the Wildcats were able to do a solid enough job of taking care of the ball to maintain a lead at or near double-digits.

Yates made late charges behind the efforts of forward Damyeon Dotson (23 points, 19 rebounds) and guard Darrion Martion (21 points), but they never tired or led the game after the 5:56 mark of the first quarter.

Despite the loss, Yates coach Greg Wise still came away with a positive outlook for his squad.

"Other than the loss I think we showed a lot of things that we need to improve on but also a lot of things that we did improve on," Wise said.

Dickerson was named the tournament's MVP. Collins, Guidry, Dotson and Yates' Shai Fields made the all-tournament team.

In the tournament's third-place game, Wheatley defeated Madison 76-73. Washington won the tournament's consolation championship game, defeating Worthing 70-51.
