BELLEVILLE - Senior forward Syd Harris led Edwardsville with 17 points to move to within 29 points of Emmonnie Henderson's all-time school scoring record as the Tigers scored the game's first 23 points in going on to a 56-14 win over Belleville East in a Southwestern Conference game Thursday night at the East gym.
