The Freeport Pretzels turned seven Belvidere turnovers into 16 first-half points and dominated their game on both ends of the floor en route to a 72-33 regional semifinal victory on Tuesday at the Class 3A East Regional.
Jalen Carroll, who scored 26 points, opened the game with a 3-pointer and later gave the Pretzels a 21-6 lead on another 3-point conversion in the first quarter.
“We came out in man and that really slowed them down in the zone on the offensive end for them,” Carroll said.
