Jaedon Granere scored 23 points, Brayden Lawson 22 and Dylan Drake 16 as the Wildcats cruised to a 66-45 romp over visiting Uniontown to kick off the 2023 portion of their schedule.
Marmaton Valley improves to 2-3 on the season with a Friday home tilt against Oswego next on the schedule.

Lawson had the hot hand early, scoring 14 points before halftime as the Wildcats led 15-4 after one quarter and 30-25 at the break.
Granere and Drake picked up the baton in the third quarter. Granere scored 11 in the frame while the Wildcats stretched their lead to 50-34. Drake, meanwhile, scored 14 of his 16 after halftime.
A 16-11 MV spurt down the stretch sealed the win.
