The Olpe boys took control early in a 63-44 victory over Southern Coffey County.
The Eagles jumped out to a 15-8 first-quarter lead, then extended that advantage to 34-20 by halftime.
“I thought offensively we did some good things all night,” Olpe coach Chris Schmidt said. “Defensively, we were a little bit sluggish. I don’t know if all these games are getting to us or what. We were a step slow, and I didn’t think it was our best effort.”
Olpe’s lead only grew larger in the second half, as the team went on a 14-6 third-quarter run to push its advantage to 48-26.
Cole Krueger led the Eagles with 22 points, while Bradley Argabright had 16 points, including three 3-pointers.
Mackenzie Redding paced SCC with 12 points, while Chyler Ludolph added 10.
