A lot of futility came to an end for the Greene Central boys basketball team on Friday night.
Joseph Biggs scored 23 points and the Rams defeated host Tarboro 88-80 to win its first league game of the season and snapped an 11-game losing streak in the process.
Brandon Belcher scored 18 points and Jalyn Harper added 12 as Greene Central (4-15, 1-7 Eastern Plains 2A Conference) dominated the second half by outscoring the Vikings (1-7 EP2A) 52-37 in the final 16 minutes.
Tarboro led 43-36 at the break.
The Rams travel to SouthWest Edgecombe for a make-up game on Wednesday before hosting league-leading Kinston next Friday.
