University Heights Academy came out firing on all cylinders on Saturday while rolling to an 84-39 victory at Crittenden County.

The Blazers (6-6) led 33-14 after just 8 minutes and took a 58-19 advantage to halftime.

Lemar Northington hit seven 3-pointers and scored 22 of his game-high 29 points in the first half to pace UHA. Elijah Walton added 19 points and Quinton Quarles finished with 11 points.

Preston Morgeson had 16 points to lead Crittenden (6-8) while Travis Champion had 13.
