MORAN — Marmaton Valley High was in a “share-the-wealth” kind of mood Friday.
All five Wildcat starters scored at least eight points — four were in double figures — as Marmaton Valley snapped a five-game skid with a 76-44 romp over visiting Altoona-Midway.
The victory lifts the Wildcats to 6-12 on the season. The Jets fell to 7-10.
A balanced attack paved the way. Five different Wildcats scored in the first quarter and six notched points in the second as Marmaton Valley extended a 16-10 lead to 33-19 at intermission.
Any hopes for an Altoona rally were doused, courtesy of Dylan Drake’s eight third-quarter points as the Wildcats pushed their lead to 56-33 by the end of the third.
Drake wound up with a game-high 18 points. Tyler Lord was right behind with 16. Brayden Lawson scored 13, Chase Smith 12 and Jaedon Granere eight.
Andy Tiger’s 12 points paced the Jets. Harley Lopeman added 10.
There were points aplenty in the junior varsity contest as well.
Granere scored 13 points, Smith 11 while Brevyn Campbell and Lord had seven apiece in the Wildcat JV’s 46-27 win. That game was a two-quarter affair. Garrett Morrison and Todd Stevenson added four points each.
Marmaton Valley wraps up the regular season this week with games at home Tuesday against Jayhawk-Linn and at Chetopa Friday
