By Sam Weiderhaft

The Bulldogs used their star power on Tuesday night, grabbing a 61-55 win at Pike to move to 16-3 on the season.

After a high scoring first quarter for both teams, Brownsburg took a 34-31 lead into halftime. Pike would inch closer in the third, before the Bulldogs put up 17 points in the fourth to close it out. It's the 7th win on the road for Brownsburg this season. 

Malek Edmonds returned to the floor after missing eight games with an injury and quickly made an impact, scoring 17 points on 8-10 shooting. The senior did not appear in the starting lineup, but played 21 minutes in his first game since Jan. 7th. 

Pierce Thomas had a night to remember for the Purple and White, scoring a new career-high 24 points in the effort, grabbing 8 rebounds. The junior came in clutch from the free-throw line, going 13-14. 

Connor Lucas would add 10 points of his own, and Quentin Bragg would score 5, all in a crucial fourth quarter stretch. 

The Red Devils were led by Eddie Jones, who scored 13 points. Ryan Conwell put up 10.

The Bulldogs are back in action on Friday night against HCC opponent Noblesville for Senior Night, with tip-off set for 7:30.
