ARMA — A cold start doomed Marmaton Valley Junior High’s boys Thursday.

The Wildcats trailed 11-0 after one quarter, and while the Wildcats picked up their offense from there, it was too little, too late in a 42-28 loss to Northeast-Arma.

Thomas Allee led the Wildcats with 10 points, while Lane Lord followed with eight and Kaden McVey scored seven. Ethan Lawson chipped in with two and Bryant Uhlrich with one.

Marmaton Valley’s B team was a bit more successful, rolling out a 31-16 win.

Lord scored a team-high eight, while Colin Ard scored seven and Kooper Welch and Truett Belvins notched six apiece. Brady Burton and Kameren McClenning had two points each.

Jaren Curl and Daniel Allee scored buckets for MV in a 4-0 win in a two-quarter C team game.
