DEWITT – After an exciting game-winner against Fabius-Pompey, the Otselic Valley Vikings boys basketball team pulled off another tight win against Manlius-Pebble Hill. The Vikings are two games over .500 at 8-6 as they came away with a 47-43 win.

It was a game that OV controlled from the start but the Trojans, who were still looking for their first win of the season, stayed close behind them and fought back late in the game. They even took a brief lead with three minutes left and went up by three. However, the Vikings got back on track on both ends of the court, where their defense forced turnovers and the offense regained the lead and kept it.

Lukas Schieferstein, who scored the game-winner in the previous game, sealed the win this time with a steal. He also lead the team with 24 points and had four rebounds and three blocks.

Ryley Palmer followed with nine points as Payne Wood and Owen Davis both finished with six points. Logan Foster added two points in the win.
