SAVANNAH, Mo. — The Maryville boys basketball team found itself in a 17-7 hole after one quarter of play, but came roaring back in the second half for a 41-32 victory over Savannah Friday night, ending a two-game skid.

After trimming the Savages’ lead to 19-13 at halftime, sophomore guard Trey Oglesby — who finished with a team-high 11 points — scored 10 points of the Spoofhounds’ 16 points in the third quarter to take a 29-28 lead into the fourth quarter.

Maryville (8-7) held Savannah to just four points in the final period while scoring 12 of its own to pull away.

Junior forward Chip Dunlap chipped in eight points to go along with Oglesby’s 11.

The Spoofhounds are back in action next week at the Cameron Tournament. They open play at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday against Bishop LeBlond. The Golden Eagles beat the Spoofhounds 75-51 back in the season-opening Savannah Tournament.
