The Benton Invitational Tournament opened up last night and the host Rangers treated those in attendance to some history. Senior and Colorado State recruit Docker Tedeschi broke the single game tournament record for scoring dropping 50 points in the Rangers 80-24 win over St Louis Roosevelt. Docker breaks the long time record of Benton standout JoJo Johnson.
