The No. 5 Milford Mill boys basketball team put together a solid 32 minutes Thursday night at New Town, but the second quarter was something special.

With strong team defense at one end and balanced scoring at the other, the Millers went on a decisive 24-4 run to pull away for a 64-47 win over the Titans in Baltimore County play.

Six players scored in the pivotal stretch, which started with Nick Smoot's 3-pointer with 55 seconds left in the first quarter to give the Millers a 13-12 lead they would not relinquish. They went on to outscore the Titans 18-6 in the second quarter for a comfortable 34-18 halftime advantage.

Isaiah McCray, Duane Miller, Nick Smoot and Troy Parker each scored nine points, while Tevin Hanner and Katrell Myers finished with eight as Milford Mill improved to 7-1 this season.

The Titans, who got a game-high 18 points from Davonte Coleman, fell to 7-2.

Milford Mill coach Albert Holley was pleased with the effort, particularly at the defensive end.

"I think they're starting to get the hang of what we want to do defensively, so they're buying into the idea that you have to defend to win basketball games and they're exhibiting it out there on the court," he said.
