Last night Oran led 14-6 after one and took a 26-15 lead into the halftime locker room. and picked up the 17 point victory.
Coach Joe Bickings said, "Last night was a good win for us. Bloomfield is always well coached and I knew they were going to get after it and pressure us. We did a good job for the most part in breaking their press and getting layups early on to get them out of their press. I thought we executed well at times in our half-court offense and made some adjustments to our defense after halftime that made a difference. It is nice to get back to the championship again this year after losing to Saxony last year in it. I just hope we can pull it off and win this time."
Cameron Westrich led all scorers with 22. He was followed by Nick Romas with 10. Romas hit one from beyond the arc.
Seth Cauble finished with six, Diesel Cato had four, including a trey. Logan Rose and Kaleb Gosche had two apiece and Dawson Menz added a free throw.
