Seth Cauble, Cooper Priggel and Logan Rose all scored three. Priggel's came on a trey. Lane Peterson rounded out the scoring with a field goal.

In the varsity matchup, Oran led from the get-go, but could never put the pesky Tigers away.

Oran went on a ten point run to close out the quarter and take a 44-31 lead into the intermission the intermission.

Jacob Shoemaker topped all scorers with 28. He hit three three's and was 7-9 from the line. Tyson Goodale finished with 14 and had two treys. Todd Priggel added 12 points and was, at times, unstoppable when driving to the goal.
Ty Johnson hit for eight, including a three-pointer. Johnson picked up his fourth foul in the third period. but finished the night on the floor after returning in the fourth. Langdon Scheeter and Cooper Priggel had six and five, respectively. Both hit one from beyond the arc.
As a team, they were 11 of 17 from the free throw line for 65%.
Head Coach Joe Shoemaker said afterward, "I thought we played a very well coached talented team. I was proud of the boys for going down to Risco and picking up the 2 quarter jv victory and the varsity victory. The jv was able to get their first game action in and we saw some stuff we can work on in practice and hopefully improve on before Friday. The varsity played a good first half and then in the third quarter got into some foul trouble and we also missed a couple of easy buckets and had a couple of turnovers in that stretch. Also during that time, Risco hit a couple of tough shots. We have some little things to work on in practice to prepare for a Scott City team that is 4-0 so far this year."
The varsity improved to 4-0 and both squads will be back in action on Friday when they host the conference opener against a much improved Scott City squad at 6 pm.
