Mexico Bulldogs beat Warrenton Warriors 62-38 in nonconference game

Mexico’s Bulldogs beat the Warrenton Warriors 62-38 in a nonconference boys’ basketball game at Warrenton High School; the broadcast did not specify the calendar date.

The Bulldogs opened a large lead, taking a 32-13 advantage at halftime and extending it to 46-19 after three quarters. Mexico finished the game with a 24-point margin, 62-38.

The margin was built on balanced scoring and several second-half runs. Jaden Eldridge reached 15 points on the night; Caden Benny also finished with 15 points, according to the broadcast play-by-play. PJ Perkins provided inside scoring and highlight plays, including multiple alley-oop conversions. Warrenton had intermittent runs but struggled to match Mexico on the offensive glass and in second-chance points.

The broadcast noted Missouri’s running-clock (mercy) rule: when a lead exceeds 30 points the fourth quarter becomes a running clock. Mexico’s largest lead reached 28 points late in the fourth quarter, so the running clock was not triggered.

Warrenton’s immediate schedule was discussed on the broadcast. The Warriors have a snow make-up game Thursday at Saint Charles West and return home Friday for a Pink Out game against Winfield; the girls’ game is scheduled to tip off at 5:30 p.m., followed by the boys at about 7 p.m. The Mexico Bulldogs were scheduled to play at Fulton High School the next night with an 8 p.m. start noted on the broadcast.

The game was described on air by broadcasters Keith Brown and John Meyer of the Warrior Sports Network. Brown closed the broadcast by urging continued support for school athletics, saying, “Stay safe and keep supporting high school sports.”
