Head Coach Ethan Evans told the blog, "We came out on fire and shot a lot of lay ups and short jumpers in the 1st quarter. Scott County packed it in after that and we started forcing bad shots and passes that weren't there instead of running our offense. We closed the game out real well by getting the ball inside and hitting free throws down the stretch."
Oran, the tourney's number 2 seed, will face Saxony Lutheran, the number 1 seed and currently the 5th ranked team in the state in class 3 on Thursday at 7;30 pm.
