The Portage Trojans ran, and ran, and ran, and the Tec Voc Hornets just had no answer.

The Trojans defeated the Hornets 89-64 on home court at Portage Collegiate Monday night in West Winnipeg Athletic Conference Basketball action.

Seth Puddicombe says they wanted to outwork their opponents and that's why they won.

"(We wanted) to push the pace and stuff, and (it was) the energy we had," said Puddicombe. "We've had a lot of close games, but this one we just came away with a big lead, and a big win."

John Walsh led the team with 28 while Puddicombe added 24.

The Trojans now wait to take on the Shaftesbury Titans on Wednesday in Winnipeg.
