East Sac At MVAO-COU
East Sac 55
MVAO-COU 22
East Sac defense was sharp and helped set the tone for a nice road win as the Raiders won their 7th straight to improve to 8-2 overall and 7-1 in the Twin Lakes Conference. The defense did a nice job of defending without fouling and limiting the Rams second and third chance opportunities.
The offense had a few tough trips early but they shot 50% from the field which helped them build a 10 point lead early. The Raiders dominated the boards all game and slowly pulled away. The Raiders led by 11 at half and 16 heading into the 4th quarter.
Camden Schroeder had a game high 19 points to go with 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 blocks. Tyler Schmitt added 14 points and 10 rebounds and Gavin Vondrak finished another strong performance with 11 points.
The Raiders host Alta-Aurelia with a shot at tying them in the loss column in the conference race. Both of them and Newell Fonda, South Central Calhoun, Sioux Central, SE Valley would all have 1 conference loss if East Sac wins depending on how other games around the conference turn out.
