The Panthers (14-4) jumped on South Warren early, but more importantly, kept up the pace in a decisive 78-46 win at SWHS.
"We've been having leads on a lot of teams here, and we've kind of let them sneak back into the game," Russellville coach Phil Todd said. "This was the first time this year I've seen us come out aggressive and keep pouring it on. That's what we need to do. We've got to develop a killer instinct, and I saw some of that tonight."
Already with a 16-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, Russellville scored the first 19 points of the final frame.
