CAMERON, Mo. — The Maryville boys basketball team is buying in, and it’s showing.

The Spoofhounds beat Bishop LeBlond 66-52 Tuesday night in the opening round of the Cameron Tournament — a 38-point swing from their 75-51 loss to the Golden Eagles back in the Savannah Tournament in early December.

The Spoofhounds held a 31-19 lead at halftime and never gave it up, leading 47-35 after three quarters en route to their ninth win of the season.

Senior center Jacob Cacek and sophomore guard Spencer Morrison led the way with 14 points apiece and sophomore guard Trey Oglesby added nine.

Maryville (9-7) is back in action at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the tournament semifinals against Chillicothe, a team the Hounds beat 55-45 on Jan. 13 in Maryville.
