Boys BB - SCHS holds off Goodland

Scott Community had four players in double figures and overcame a big night from Henry Cole to open their new gym in style in Scott City on Tuesday night.

Jackson Lewis scored 19 points to lead the way for the Beavers, who used two big runs to take control of the game, and a third one in the fourth quarter to seal a 69-55 win over Goodland at the debut of the Scott Community Events Center.

The Beavers (3-3) used a 25-4 run in the first and second quarters to open up a big lead, which they expanded to 41-20 midway through the third quarter. But the Cowboys (1-5) raced to a 19-2 run to pull within 43-39. Hunter Yager would hit two straight three-pointers in the final stanza to allow the Beavers to take control of the game for good.

Yager finished with 16 points, while Ronnie Weathers added 18 points and Evan Smith 10 for Scott Community, who will host Colby on Friday.

Cole finished the night with a game and career-high 29 points, which also set the standard in the new gym, located at Scott Community Middle School. Brennan Brumbaugh added 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Cowboys.
