YAMHILL – A converted three-point play for the Huskies was all that stood between the Tigers and a tied ball game at halftime Friday night at Barnett Court. That was as close as it got as the visitors stormed to victory in an overwhelming second half.

Sadie Horne scored 11 points for the Tigers, who forced North Marion into bad shots through much of the game thanks to excellent team defensive play, but struggled with the Huskies’ full-court press and offensive rebounding.

Y-C (4-16, 0-6 OWC) has Tuesday night off and travels to Stayton on Friday for a 5:30 p.m. game.
