Sprague’s defense stifles Roseburg boys in 84-51 nonconference win

SALEM — A supressing full-court press and a flurry of 3-point goals sent the Spargue Olympians to an 84-51 victory over the Roseburg Indians in a nonconference game Tuesday at Sprague High School.

Sprague’s Elijah Schmidt made six 3-pointers to help the Olympians pull away from the Indians. The sophomore finished with 21 points. Senior Jarod Stanley led Sprague (2-0) with 30 points.

Roseburg (0-4) pulled ahead 5-2 early in a low-scoring first quarter, but the Olympians ramped up the defensive pressure and finished the period on a 22-4 run.

Harrison Scott led the Indians with a season-high 17 points. The junior made three 3-point shots. Senior Owen Bentea battled through unrelenting defensive pressure to finish with 11 points, half of his season average.

Roseburg will continue the season with a nonconference game on Friday at winless Newberg.
