Pirates win easily against Edmond North, 62-45

Still playing without the big guy, Putnam City showed Edmond North the entire Pirates roster.

Xavier Henry, the nations' No. 2 junior guard in the country, makes news even when he doesn't play - like in the Edmond North.

Playing without the star, who has an injured arm and is considered day-to-day as to when he will be back in the line-up, Putnam City unloaded Brandon Jackson and Garen Wright on the Huskies as PC claimed a 62-45 victory on the road.

The Pirates started slow, leading only by three at halftime, but came back strong as they outscored Edmond North 18-6 in the third period.

Jackson scored 21 points, while Wright added 19 for the Pirates.

North was led by 6-foot-7 Eric Randall's 23 points.
