Wahoo 81
Schuyler Central 60

A tremendous first quarter (33-5) lifted the Wahoo Warriors to an 81-60 victory over the Schuyler Warriors on Parents Night, in the regular season finale for both teams.

Wahoo jumped out to an 8-4 lead behind baskets from Greg Milliken, Max Cook, and a trey from Cole Barry. Wahoo would then go on a 17-0 run to take a 25-4 lead. Following a Schuyler free throw, Wahoo scored the next 8 points to take a 33-5 lead after one quarter. Cole Barry had 11 first quarter points, Max Cook had 7 points in the quarter, Sean Lindgren had 6 in the quarter, and Milliken had 5.
Wahoo would cruise to the victory the remainder of the way, without being seriously threatened. Wahoo led 46-22 at the halftime break, and led 68-40 after three quarters.

“In twenty years of coaching, I don’t remember ever having a better first quarter than we did last night. Schuyler is a Class B team that had a 10-9 record, so this was a good team. We played about as well as we could have in the first quarter, and decided the outcome of the game in the first 8 minutes,” commented Head Coach Kevin Scheef. “Everyone who played tonight for us did a great job. Cole Barry had just a great game. He has really come on for us offensively in the last month. Greg Milliken also played very well for us last night.”

Cole Barry led Wahoo with 24 points. Milliken had 20, and Max Cook and Jake Barry both added 10 points.

Wahoo outrebounded Schuyler 40-26. Jake Barry led the Warriors with 8 boards, while Milliken, Josh Discher, and Cole Barry each added 7 rebounds. Max Cook led Wahoo defensively with 5 steals. Discher and Cole Barry had 4 assists apiece.

Wahoo improves to 13-7, while Schuyler drops to 10-10. Wahoo will face D.C. West on Tuesday night in the first round of the Sub-District tournament at Omaha Westside at 7:15 p.m.
