The Okaw Valley boys’ basketball team snapped its 3-game winning streak with a nonconference loss to Central A&M Friday.

A poor shooting night caught up with the Timberwolves as they fell behind 33-12 at the half and could not recover for the eventual 52-25 loss.

“The key stat for us was that we couldn’t make shots,” said Okaw Valley coach Brooks Inman. “We were 1-for-18 from 3-point range, and that will not get the job done.”

Jared Bunfill led OV with eight points, and Austin Hill had six.

Sam Hagerman and Ty Nichols scored five and four points, in that order, and Hutson Dickens added a bucket.

“We held them to 52 points, and they average over 70 points per game on the season,” Inman said. “Our defensive effort was good enough. We just did not execute offensively the way we would like.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
