EUGENE — The Roseburg High boys basketball team never managed to find a rhythm against North Eugene in a nonconference 60-42 loss in Eugene on Tuesday.

Roseburg (1-3) trailed the entire contest and fell behind by as much as 29 points in the fourth quarter. It was the third consecutive loss for the Indians.

“You got to come focused. We started the game with six turnovers in the first three minutes of the game,” said coach Jordan Humphreys. “There’s no excuse not to be ready to start a game.”

North Eugene started a bit sluggish on offense, but blew open a 10-point halftime lead in the third quarter behind a sharp-shooting performance from center Cameron Parks.

The 6-4 senior had 17 of his game-high 31 points in the third period.

Senior Nate Duke added 13 points for North Eugene (3-1).

Matt Parker finished with 11 points to lead Roseburg. Sophomore Danil Olson scored 10 points off the bench.

Roseburg leading scorer Zach Martin had only four points. It was his first game scoring in single digits this season.

Roseburg will return home to host Corvallis in another non-league game on Friday. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:45 p.m.
