Cold shooting dooms Spoofhounds

FAUCETT, Mo. — A tough night from the floor Monday night led to back-to-back losses for the Maryville boys basketball team.

The Spoofhounds fell behind 12-2 after a first quarter that saw the only points from Maryville come from junior forward Chip Dunlap, and they couldn’t recover against Mid-Buchanan.

The Dragons held a 26-17 halftime lead and stretched their advantage to 44-29 by the end of three quarters, cruising to a 58-39 win.

Senior guard Hagen Snow led Maryville (7-7) with 15 points and knocked down four three-pointers. Sophomore guard Spencer Morrison chipped in with eight.

“It was a rough night shooting, except for Hagen,” Maryville head coach Matt Stoecklein said.

Austin Skaggs led all scorers with 17 and Braydn Kemper added 14 for the Dragons.

The Spoofhounds are on the road again Friday night, taking on Highway 71-rival Savannah at 7 p.m. The Spoofhounds beat the Savages 54-44 back in December in the Savannah Tournament.
