The Gallatin boys surged from a 20-20 halftime tie to outscore Winston 14-4 in the third quarter, and held on to the advantage in the final quarter for a 43-30 triumph. Gavin Wilmes had 16 points for Gallatin with Pryce Johnson 10 points. Winston was paced by Levi Youtsey’s 11 points, with Brayden Watkins 10 points.
