VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Valley City Hi-Liner boys hosted the #1 ranked West Fargo Sheyenne Mustangs Tuesday night and played the entire first half neck-and-neck until the Mustangs were able to pull away in the second half and cruise to a 75-56 victory. The score at halftime was 40-32 Mustangs, but the scored was tied within the last several minutes of the first half.
The Hi-Liners were balanced in the first half, as five players scored at least four points, but the Mustangs clamped down on defense in the second half. Senior Peyton Zaun was the only Hi-Liner to score in the first 10 minutes of the second half (10 points) before fellow senior Derrek Diegel made a layup with 7:57 left to go in the game. The Mustangs had taken a 20-point+ lead by that point, however, and the Hi-Liners did not have enough to come back, never making a serious run at the Mustangs.
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Wahpeton started the second half on a 19-3 to turn a four point halftime lead into a 20 point lead and Valley City never recovered as the Huskie picked up a 83-65 win over the Hi-Liners on Senior night.
Valley City jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead thanks to one of the seniors. Alex Thornton hit a three-pointer and a baseline scoop shot and assisted on Peyton Zaun’s bucket to help the Hi-Liners jump out to an early lead. They would expand that lead to nine at 16-7 thanks to an 8-1 run. But Wahpeton would come back and tie the game at 16, one of ten ties in the first half.
