East Rutherford pulled away in the second half Friday to hand Polk County’s junior varsity a 58-42 defeat in Mountain Foothills 7 Conference basketball action at Polk.

The two teams battled to an 18-18 tie at halftime. But the Cavaliers raced to a nine-point lead by the end of the third period and built on that margin in the fourth period to claim the win.

Harris Windsor led Polk County (0-11) with 10 points. Luke Garrison added nine, with Kamron Cunningham and Tae Gary each scoring six.
