The Wahoo Warriors defeated the Logan View Raiders 65-46 on Saturday afternoon.
Wahoo was down 10-8, when Jake Barry scored the last four points of the quarter to put Wahoo up 12-10.
The Warriors went on a 9-2 run to open the second quarter. A Jake Barry basket, and Cole Barry free throw put Wahoo up 21-12. Wahoo still led 23-16, when Sean Lindgren hit two free throws, and Greg Milliken had a lay up and then hit a trey to put Wahoo up 30-17 at halftime.
Logan View cut into the lead in the third quarter, and halfway through the quarter, it was 32-25. The Warriors then went on an 8-0 run. Milliken had 6 of the 8 in the run, to put Wahoo up 40-25. The third quarter ended with Wahoo up 44-28.
The Warriors would gradually increase the lead in the fourth quarter. Following another Milliken trey, Wahoo had their biggest lead of the game at 58-34, before going on to the 65-46 win.
"I thought our defensive pressure was good again. We have played very solid defense through our first three games. We absolutely have to take better care of the ball. We are committing way too many turnovers, and those have to get cut down to beat the good teams. Our rebounding was better tonight, but we did shoot free throws very well tonight. I thought Greg Milliken played very well for us tonight," said Head Coach Kevin Scheef.
Milliken led the Warriors with 20 points. Jake Barry had 14 points, and Sean Lindren added 10. Barry led the way on the glass with 9 boards, followed by Milliken and Josh Discher with 5 a piece. Milliken and Barry both had 4 steals. Max Cook, Sam Cook, and Cole Barry each had 4 assists.
The Warriors shot 52 percent from the field, but just 50 percent from the free throw line, and turned the ball over 21 times. The Warriors forced 26 Logan View turnovers, and allowed the Raiders to shoot just 36 percent from the field.
Wahoo improves to 2-1, while Logan View drops to 1-2. Wahoo will host Centennial on Thursday and travel to Fort Calhoun on Friday.
