Texas High had too many weapons for Marshall's boys Tuesday at the Tiger Center.
Five players scored in double digits, and everyone in uniform scored as the Tigers beat Marshall, 87-72.
THS (14-7, 4-3) retained at least a share of third place in District 16-5A, while the Mavs slipped to 16-11 and 2-5, respectively.
"Marshall never gave up; sometimes when teams get down like they did they might quit," THS coach Keith Jones said. "We kept scoring on our end, and they couldn't get closer than nine. Overall, everybody played well. It could have been a little bit better on defensive end against the half-court offense. (Chris) Dunn scored a bunch, but he's hard to guard, he's so quick.
"Jordan Ray is getting better and better every game for us. It's nice to have that one go-to guy, but sometimes the other team can key on him and cause you problems. Everybody on our team has the opportunity and can score.
The Tigers never trailed in the game, scoring the first five points of the contest on Vonderic Stanley's trey, and a steal and layup by Chris Reid.
Trailing by 13 at halftime, Marshall could never get closer than nine with the Tigers answering every Maverick run with one of their own.
Junior Tevailance Hunt came off the bench to score 11 of his 13 points in the second half, while leading the Tigers with 10 rebounds. THS won the battle on the glass, 37-31.
Vonderic Stanley also provided a spark for the Tigers with nine of his 15 points coming in the final two quarters. Senior Chris Reid led Texas High's attack with 18 points, with Curtis Crump scoring 14 and Lavon Brown adding 10.
Kris Dunn kept Marshall in the game early, finally getting some help in the second half from Corteze Hurd and Carrington Love.
Dunn led all scorers with 27 points, while Hurd poured in 20 and pulled down a game-high 17 rebounds. Love scored all 11 of his points in the second half, including three treys.
The lead was 14-6 when the Mavs rallied behind Dunn, who scored 14 points in the first half. The Mavs also won the battle on the glass in the first two quarters with Hurd pulling down 10 rebounds.
It was a team effort by THS in the opening half with all 10 players contributing at the offensive end of the court. Reid was the leading scorer with seven points, while Stanley and Curtis Crump scored six each.
Nursing a three-point lead early in the second quarter, the Tigers went on an 8-0 run, with Crump scoring his six points.
Marshall answered with a 7-0 run, Dunn scoring all seven points. Then it was the Tigers' turn going on another 8-0 run with five different players scoring.
A conventional three-point play by Dunn cut the Tigers' advantage down to 38-25 at intermission.
Texas High's junior varsity remained unbeaten in district by routing the Mavs, 85-42. Jonathan Blair led the Tigers with 25. Quechez Clark scored 17, Jacoby Johnson 15, Kyle Wright 12 and Myles Washington 10. Lee Jefferson had 13 for Marshall.
The Tigers won their second straight district game in beating Marshall, 51-39. Dayveon Hawkins and Cedric Kelly tallied 15 each for the winners, while J.J. Green scored 20 for the Mavs.
