Timberlake Christian was able to pull out an less than pretty win against Rustburg High School on Monday night. In their second game of the Lynchburg College tournament, TCS came out and shot a miserable 22% from the field in the first half to enter the intermission in a 19-19 tie. It was the second straight game in which TCS was held to 19 points in the first half. The third quarter showed promise for offense as the Tornodoes reeled off 20 points to take an 8 point lead into the fourth. TCS managed to overcome a season-high in turnovers as they held off a rally from the Red Devils. Jonathan Phelps made his presence felt grabbing 11 rebounds in the contest. Jon Morgan led the team with 17 points and Chris Thomas and Mark Henry each contributed 10.
