PFLUGERVILLE, Texas-- Behind senior forward Itiana Taylor's double-double and game-highs of 16 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks, the No. 8 state-ranked Pflugerville Panthers posted a 74-33 victory over Waco Midway HS Tuesday night at the Panther Gym. Taylor (pictured) has now registered six double-doubles in the Panthers' first 10 games, including four in a row.

After a tight first quarter which found the Panthers ahead by seven, 17-10, P'ville outscored the visitors 45-7 over the next two quarters, led by Taylor and junior forward Jonelle Smith. Smith finished with 15 points.

Midway (2-7) scored four points in the second period as Pflugerville led 37-14 at the break and was held to a lone 3-pointer in the third quarter.

Joining Taylor and Smith in double-figure scoring were junior forward Diana Omozee who notched 13 points and junior guard Brenisha Payne (12 points). Omozee also finished with seven rebounds and three blocks, while Smith had six rebounds and Payne had a game-high five steals. Senior guard Jasmyn Booker added nine points.
