But the Bruins may not have visited Helias with a better team.

Using a brutally efficient offensive attack, the Bruins took all the drama out of a showdown between ranked teams and cruised to a 71-55 win Friday over the Helias Crusaders.

"You saw an offensive team in Rock Bridge that made tremendous decisions and capitalized on any mistake we made," Helias coach Josh Buffington said.

Helias, the 10th-ranked team in Class 4, was able to match Rock Bridge in a high-octane first quarter that ended with the Bruins up 19-17.

Zach Rockers hit his first three shots from the field, two layups and a 3-pointer, while Dean Wiley nailed a pair of 3s as the Crusaders hit six of their first eight shots and took a 15-9 lead.
