Wahoo 80
West Point 40

The Wahoo Warriors traveled to West Point to take on the Cadets on Tuesday night and came away with an 80-40 victory.

The Warriors jumped out to a 14-2 lead early in the game and led 19-11 after one quarter. Wahoo increased the lead to 41-26 by halftime. Max Cook scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half.

West Point cut the Warrior lead to 41-30 about 2 minutes into the third quarter. A Greg Milliken basket, two Josh Discher free throws and two more Milliken baskets keyed an 11-0 run that put Wahoo up 52-30, and was part of a 28-4 run that took the 41-30 lead to 69-34 over an 8 minute stretch. Reserves played the rest of the way in the 80-40 win.

Greg Milliken led the way with 21 points,6 boards and 4 steals. Max Cook contributed 17 points, 7 steals and 5 boards. Josh Discher had 12 points and 8 boards. Jon Abbott added 10 points.The Warriors forced 30 Cadet turnovers, and shot 50% from the field. Wahoo also won the rebounding battle 40-23.

"I thought our defense was better tonight. Giving up 40 points sure beats giving up 77. Missed free throws and lay ups kept us from taking control of the game earlier, but I thought we played a very solid second half. We had 2 players out with illness in Sean Lindgren and Justin Lewandowski, but I thought we had some other kids really step up. Jon Abbott played very well off the bench for us, as did Casey Brown," Said Coach Kevin Scheef.

Wahoo improves to 3-1, and will host Fort Calhoun on Friday, before traveling to Centennial on Saturday in the final games before the Holiday Tournament.
