Fishers started its season Tuesday with a convincing win at Ben Davis, by the score of 71-58.

The Tigers led 20-16 after the first quarter, with Jeffrey Simmons pouring in nine points, and Alex Szilagyi adding seven. Both players were just getting started. Simmons added another nine points in the second period, and Fishers stayed ahead 34-20 at halftime.

Szilagyi hit a 3-pointer during the second, and he threw in two more triples in the third period. That helped the Tigers maintain a 51-48 advantage after three quarters. Fishers ran away with that final period, outscoring the Giants 20-10.

Four different players scored at least four points, including five more from Simmons.

The sophomore Simmons finished the game with 29 points, while Szilagyi added 22 points.

The Tigers are back in action next Tuesday at Muncie Central.
