Bossier Parish Community College hit the gas after halftime Saturday and shot its away out of a three-game slump by dumping visiting Coastal Bend 75-59 at Billy Montgomery Gym.

The Cavaliers (13-6 overall, 5-6 in Region XIV) expanded a one-point edge by outscoring the visitors 47-32 in the second 20 minutes. Bossier Parish moved to 13-1 at home this season.

Charles Onana led BPCC with 15 points. Braylan McNeal added 14 and Tyrone Iroghama scored 10 for the Cavs, who go for a season sweep Wednesday at Tyler Junior College.

BPCC is back home next Saturday afternoon at 2 against Navarro.
