The Southern Coffey County boys basketball team erased a halftime deficit in a 40-37 win against Olpe Tuesday night. The Titans outscored the Eagles 11-5 in the fourth quarter.
Travis Bryan scored a game-high 15 for the Titans and Aaron Ludolph added 13 points.
SCC jumped out to a 12-7 lead but Olpe took the lead back with a 17-7 second-quarter surge. However, SCC outscored the Eagles a 21-13 in the second half.
“They outscored us 11-5 in the fourth quarter,” Olpe coach Chris Schmidt said. “They outplayed us in the fourth quarter. They wanted it more than we did. We struggled putting the ball in the hole, especially in the fourth quarter. We got some looks and we didn’t make plays and their kids made plays.”
Olpe went just 3-10 from the free-throw line.
Austin Bass led the Eagles with 12 points, Glen Haag added nine, Colby Nuessen and Linden Stueve added six apiece.
