With a look at sports on WRC-OF, have a WRC-O.com, I'm Adam Hess.

Well despite the weather last night, a lot of high school basketball games were played, a

lot of them were moved up to an earlier start time, including our featured broadcast of

WRC-O.com.

The Afica Bulldog, picked up a win, 67-52 over WRC-O.

In Region Valley Conference Action, played in Afica on the night, the Bulldogs jumped

to a 34-22 half-time lead, the Hornets got it to within 10 early in the third quarter,

but Afica went up by 22 eventually and wound up winning it by 15 in the end.

Very good balance to tack for Coach Aaron Hipsch's team.

Devon Eim had 16 to lead the pack, also 11 for West Nelson, 10 points each for Cody

Burns and Sammy Cleary, 9 for KC Palmering.

Six points scored by Keegan Jones, three for Dante Klein-Saucer and Ethan Berkram has

two.

Leading away from WRC-O, we need to say congratulations to Cooper Lomas as a junior.

He has gone over 1,000 points in his high school basketball career.

He went over that point when he got to point number 13 on the night at Afica with a jump

shot in the lane.

So, the game was stopped and he was congratulated.

Lomas with 21, 10 points for Julius Cooley, eight by Brett Wagner, from their five points

for Josh Martin, four for Theodore Millen, and two each for Francisco Riorta and Nolan

Reed Mulligan.

The Hornets are 7-8 from the free throw line, they make 3-3s, the Bulldogs 2-5 from the

line, they make a total of 5-3-pointers.

The JV game wound up in a tie at 43, they ended it after the regulation because they wanted

to get the varsity game going on a win-tory night.

The next action for the Bulldog boys coming up on Monday, they will be at Cashton,
