Lustre returned to the hardwood this past weekend after a two-week break. Boys coach Randy Reddig said of his Lions, "The layoff definitely showed but looking forward to the final push to the tournament."

The Lions fell to Scobey/Opheim on Feb. 2 by a score of 59-29 as the Spartans continue to own the top slot in District 3-C on the boys side of the standings. Scobey/Opheim got the jump on Lustre, taking an 18-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Spartans outscored the Lions by 10 points in the second quarter to take the 37-13 lead into the half.

After the break, the Lions came out stronger, putting up eight points to the Spartans' 10 in the third, while only getting outscored by four in the final quarter. But their second half strength was not enough to over the Spartan's early lead. Kolden Hoversland led the Lions in scoring with 13 points, followed by Elijah Lenihan with nine. Kaleb Hoversland added a three pointer, and Cayden Klatt and Alex Chen added two each.

Back out on the floor, the Lions continued their scoring onslaught, putting in another 18 points int eh third quarter while holding the Bearcubs to 15. They did not let up in the final eight minutes, adding 17 points to their side of the scoreboard, while limiting to Frazer to a single point.
