Prep Boys Basketball: Roseburg stumbles at home in 72-46 loss to Newberg

A hot start and a big finish powered the Newberg Tigers past the Roseburg Indians 72-46 in a nonconference boys basketball game Friday at Robertson Memorial Gymnasium.

Newberg (1-2) built a 19-6 lead in the first quarter, but Roseburg (0-4) kept the Tigers from running away with the game over the next two periods.

Tristan Frable scored 13 of his season-high 16 points in the second and third quarters to help the Indians stay within 50-35 heading to the fourth quarter. Roseburg’s comeback attempt stalled out as Newberg doubled-up the Tribe 22-11 over the final eight minutes.

Newberg, out of the Pacific Conference, got support from up and down the roster. The Tigers had 11 players score and Jack Thompson led the way with a game-high 23 points. Ben Davis added 10 for Newberg.

Roseburg’s Harrison Scott continued his role as the leading-scorer for the Tribe with 18 points. The senior was 5-for-5 at the free throw line and had a pair of 3-point field goals.

Up next, Roseburg will hit the road for the first time this season and face Churchill at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday from the Lancer Dome in Eugene.
