Final update: 8:30 p.m., Windsor 91, Springfield Central 56

In the end, the only question was whether Windsor could crack 100 points or double Springfield Central's output.

The is one Central will definitely want to forget.

Windsor outhustled and outplayed its BABC Holiday Classic opponent to a tune of a 91-56 finale. The team never once surrendered its vigilance through the final moments.

No basket came easy for Central and Windsor never let up on its offensive attack, substituting out its star player, point guard Tyrus Weaver, with 45 seconds remaining.

Weaver scored 29 points for Windsor to lead all scorers. Teammate Ryan Delarre had 12 and Ishmael Kalilou had 10 help lead the onslaught.

Central's Victor Aytche led his team with 13 points.
