The Mercer County Titans basketball team dominated every aspect of the game Monday night as they beat the Thomas Nelson Generals, 65-24.

From that point on it was all Mercer.
The Titans closed the period on a 12-0 run, including six points from junior Alijah Mink, to lead 14-3 after one quarter.
“I was just doing anything that was needed. Whether it was playing defense, getting steals, getting assists or scoring. Really just anything I had to do to help my team,” said Mink, who finished with 13 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
