Three games and three wins for O-H varsity boys team

It was a very satisfying week for the Titan boys varsity basketball team as they put up three wins in a row, defeating LaCrosse-Washtucna 46-43, Wilbur-Creston 63-52 and St. Michael’s 76-57.

O-H vs. LaCrosse-Washtucna

The Titan boys traveled to Washtucna Tuesday (January 10) to take on the Tigercats. By all accounts, it was a wild and wooly game with many turnovers and fouls. The Titans maintained their lead, despite a high-scoring final quarter by the Tigercats.

Justin Hunt led the Titan offense with 16 points. Cade Weber added 9, Markus Smith 8, Jacob DeWulf 6, Stetson Sanford 5 and Jared King 2. Brett Larmer did not score.

Jake Aune, the Wildcats’ 6’2” senior forward led all scorers with 18.

Coach Travis Schuh reports that the Titans had 21 steals in the game, led by King with 8. King also led the team in rebounds with 6. Sanford had 6 assists.

O-H vs. Wilbur-Creston

Friday night’s game in Creston against the Wildcats was another league win for the Titans. O-H had a very balanced offense in the game, led by King with 13 points, Sanford 12, Weber and Hunt 11 each, Smith 7, Larmer 5 and DeWulf 4.

In other stats, Hunt led the team in rebounding with 8, Sanford had 4 assists and three blocked shots were credited to Dewulf.

O-H vs. St. Michael’s

Saturday night’s home game in Harrington looked initially as though it would be a blowout. After being down by 30 points at one point in the game, however, the Warriors never gave up and even came back and outscored the Titans in the final quarter. St. Michael’s had only eight boys on its roster and appears to be in a rebuilding phase.

Hunt led all scorers with 29 points, hitting from inside, outside and in between. Sanford had 15, Larmer 11, King 6, Smith 6, DeWulf 6, Weber 3. Tebow, Hauge and Charlton also played but were unable to score.

Larmer led in rebounding with 8, Smith had 4 steals and Weber had 8 assists.

Boys JV

St. Michael’s had no boys junior varsity team, so there was no JV game.
