HANCEVILLE — Three players, led by Jace Haggermaker’s 18 points, reached double figures as Tanner cruised to an easy 64-32 win over Class 5A Gardendale in the Yuletide Classic on the campus of Wallace State-Hanceville.

Fred Rich (16) and Greg Maclin (10) also reached double figures for the Rattlers (7-0), who will play Athens today.

Nathaniel Potts (17) and Trey Potts (10) led the Athens in a blowout win over Walker earlier in the day.

“Our guys played well today,” Athens coach Stace Tedford said. “Defensively, we were very good in the second half. The first half was a little sluggish, maybe our guys had a little Christmas left in them, but once we started to defend better our offense really opened up.”

Tedford said today’s game against Tanner has the potential to be a very competitive, very entertaining one.

“It’s a big game,” he said. “We’re playing well right now and so are they. They are very athletic, very quick and are Coach Whitt is doing a great job. I think a lot of people looked at this bracket and saw this potential matchup and looked forward to it. For us, though, it’s just another game.

“We’re going to come out and play hard and if we do that, it’s going to be a good basketball game.”

Tipoff is set for 5 p.m. at Wallace State.
