By Cort Reynolds
ARLINGTON - Arlington senior guard Zavier Thornton drained nine three-point baskets to lead the homestanding Red Devils to a 66-50 victory over spunky Ada in a non-league boys basketball contest Tuesday night.

Thornton tossed in a game-high 31 points to keep the upset-minded Bulldogs at bay. Arlington knocked down 11 triples and pumped in 42 second-half points to pull away from what was a close contest at intermission.

Bad starts to each half dug Ada holes that were too deep to climb out of.
