The Porter’s Chapel Academy Eagles found some consolation with a victory on the final day of the MAIS District 3-3A boys’ basketball tournament.

Lawson Selby racked up 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Ty Mack and Jase Jung both had 10 points and six rebounds as Porter’s Chapel drubbed Manchester Academy 67-26 in the consolation game on Saturday.

Noah Porter added 11 points and Chase Hearn nine for the Eagles (13-6), who bounced back after losing in the first round on Thursday. They held Manchester to only five points in the second quarter to open a 33-15 lead at halftime, and it only grew from there.

Tobias McGee led Manchester with eight points.
