December 14th, 2018 by admin

The Audubon Wheelers boys basketball team notched a road win on Friday night with a 83-66 decision over Tri-Center. Audubon raced out to an early 13 points lead at the end of the first quarter and led by 12 at the half 44-32. Tri-Center didn’t go away quietly and made the Wheelers work for the win down the stretch. The Trojans pulled within 5 a couple of times in the fourth quarter but Audubon always seemed to have a response. The Wheelers poured in six 3’s in the final period to stave off the Trojans and pull away at the end.

Audubon had two players hit the 25-point plateau on the night, Tate Killeen had 28 and Lane Lawson finished with 25 to give Audubon their fifth win on the season. The Wheelers will host Underwood next Tuesday night.

Tri-Center had two players reach double figures in scoring during the loss. Brady Huebner led the Trojans with 19 and Jackson Raone finished with 14. The Trojans will travel to face IKM-Manning next Tuesday.
