MANSFIELD — Friday night’s bad weather delayed, but could not put off the unstoppable force that the Waxahachie Runnin’ Indians are starting to become.

Senior point guard BJ Francis stroked six 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 25 points as the Class 6A No. 4-ranked Runnin’ Indians blew past District 7-6A colleague Mansfield Lake Ridge, 79-45, on Saturday afternoon for their 20th win of the season.

The game was postponed from Friday ahead of a line of storms that moved across North Texas.

CJ Noland added a dozen points, and all 12 Runnin’ Indians in the lineup reached the scoring column. Preston Hodge finished with eight points; Jalen Lake with seven; AB Shorter and AJ Russ with six; Sammy Kaoud with four; Jordan Davis with three; and D’marion Callier, KB Jackson, Chris Pace and Christian O’Donnell all with two.

The Runnin’ Indians led Lake Ridge 28-15 after one with a dozen points by Francis, and Francis didn’t stop there as he added three more treys en route to a 49-30 WHS advantage at the half. The Indians made it 67-43 through three periods of play before outscoring Lake Ridge 12-2 in the final eight minutes.

The Indians (20-3, 3-0) were scheduled to host Mansfield High on Tuesday night at Mike Turner Gymnasium. They will venture to Grand Prairie on Friday night at 7:30 p.m.
