After Wednesday’s 109-102 win over #3 Hargrave, it was understandable that #4 Fishburne might come out of the gates with a Hargrave hangover two nights later against a team that it had beaten by 39 points earlier in the season. That didn’t make the first eight minutes – which featured one, count ’em, one, FMS field goal and a 2-for-6 performance at the foul line – any more palatable. “We just came out flat,” said Caissons coach Ed Huckaby, whose team took control with a 27-3 first-half run en route to what turned out to be an easy 99-72 win Friday night in the opener of the FMS Enterprise Car Rental Classic.
