Soph boys beat Columbia

The Mountain Home Tigers sophomore boys basketball team rolled to a 51-12 lopsided conference win over Columbia last Thursday night in Lloyd Schiller Gymnasium in Mountain Home.

Mountain Home jumped out to an 8-0 lead, and led, 15-4 after a quarter, and outscored the Wildcats, 14-0 in the second, to take a 29-4 lead into the locker room at halftime. The Tigers built their lead up to 44-9, after three, and coasted to a 51-12 win.

All 10 Tiger sophomores saw plenty of playing time in the win, and eight of them scored, led by Jordan Warila with 12 points.

Trevor Woodruff added 11 points, Alex Kellogg and Lucas Marsh both scored seven points, Brock Morris, Christian Halbach-Patterson and Damian Soliz each scored four, and Matt Bernyk had two points.

The win improved the Tiger sophomores to 2-1 on the season, and 1-0 in conference. They return to action Friday at Nampa for a 4:30 p.m. game.
