Twelve days ago Perry knocked off top 6A Premier Region foe Brophy by nine points on the Broncos home floor. On Thursday the Pumas were even better the second time around.

#1 Perry took the mystery out of its rematch with #2 Brophy by halftime. The Pumas built a 19-point lead at intermission and went on to a 78-55 victory before a packed house at Dan Serrano Gymnasium.

Perry clinched the region title with the victory. The Pumas are 24-1 overall and 7-0 in the Premier. They finish the regular season Friday at Hamilton. Brophy's regular season is over (20-7 overall, 6-2 in region).

They each scored 12 points in the first half helping stake the defending state champions to a commanding 41-22 lead.
