OTSELIC- The three headed beast of Connor Stafford, Caden Stafford and Shane Winters delivered a combined 41 points as the visiting Cincinnatus Lions took over the Otselic Valley Vikings and controlled the game from the opening tip to the final buzzer.
Otselic Valley was overwhelmed on the defensive end as they struggled to keep the Lions scorers at bay. A fourth scorer emerged for Cincinnatus in Hunter Lewis who got in on the high scoring affair pitching in 10 points of his own.
By the end of the first half, the Vikings seemingly exhausted every defensive resource at their disposal and yet were left with a 48-16 deficit heading into the second half.
Unfortunately for OV, Cincinnatus came out of halftime firing. The Lions torched the net in the third period, scoring 22 points and protected their lead on the defensive end by limiting the hometown Vikings to just two points.
“We did not play as a team tonight,” said Vikings head coach Jacob Preston, “We have a lot of hard work in front of us if we want to compete in this league.”
Clayton O’Hara lead the Vikings in scoring and rebounding with 10 points to go along with 12 boards.
For Cincinnatus, Caden Stafford scored 14, Winters scored 14 and Connor Stafford scored 13 points.
The Vikings (0-4) return to the court on Friday December 22, when they travel to play Brookfield with game time set for 7 p.m.
