Robinson and Jones fuel rivalry victory

Garden City, KS-The script is fairly apparent: Garden City will go as far as Brody Robinson and Braxton Jones will take them.  

The two guards were magnificent on Saturday, combining for 57 points, Thomas Tut chipped in 10 points and 16 rebounds, and the Broncbusters surged past rival Dodge City, 86-75 at Conestoga Arena.  

Charles Chukwu finished with six points, four rebounds, and three blocks for the Broncbusters, which improved to 18-11 overall and 14-9 in conference play. 

But Garden City's backcourt stole the show.  

Robinson filled the stat sheet with 33 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals, his third 30-point performance of the season. Jones had 24 points on 10-of-20 shooting and was 4-of-10 from long range.  

Chevalier Emery tallied 25 points for Dodge City, which finished the regular season 9-21 and 7-17 in the Jayhawk. Hunter Duncan had 18 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds.  

Garden City never trailed in the game. They raced out to an 11-2 lead and were up 16-4 after Isaiah Dixon's second-chance bucket with 13 minutes to go in the first half.  

Dodge City answered with a 20-12 run that pulled them to within four with 7:35 on the clock. The Broncbusters led by six at the break.  

With the game hanging there for the first few minutes of the second half, Elmore's bunch finally created a little cushion. 

Leading by four, Robinson, who finished 14-of-17 at the line, sank two free throws, Dixon shoveled a pass to Tut for a layup, Jones drilled a long 3-pointer, and Garden City was up 59-45 on the heels of a 16-6 run. They stretched the lead to as many as 17 after another Jones' jump shot made it 68-51 with 7:13 remaining.
