BOURBON – A second-half surge led Plymouth High School’s varsity boys basketball team to a convincing win over Triton at the Trojan Trench Tuesday evening.

After leading by just one point at the end of the first quarter and by eight points at halftime, Plymouth outscored the Trojans 34-10 in the second half, including 19-3 in the fourth quarter, en route to a 59-27 victory.
