The West Orange boys basketball team is still a patchwork with several players just back from a football playoff run and others still missing.
But the Warriors had enough pieces back in place to erase an early deficit and beat Daytona Beach Mainland in the opening game of the 44th annual Rotary Tip Off Classic tournament on Wednesday night.
The tight game was tied midway through the fourth quarter before West Orange (1-1) scored eight consecutive points on its way to a 65-54 victory.
Mike McCalister, a 6-foot-6 forward, led the Warriors with 17 points and 16 rebounds.
