Warrenton boys cruise into consolation championship

Posted
By Kory CarpenterRecord Sports EditorThe Warrenton boys rebounded from a first-round loss in the Winfield Classic to defeat North County Christian Thursday, 57-18.The Warriors (1-1) will play for the consolation championship Saturday at 3:30 p.m.Warrenton jumped out to a 14-6 first-quarter lead and increased its margin to 29-10 at halftime.

"We set the tone defensively early and we were able to dictate their offensive flow of the game," Warrenton Head Coach Mike Uffmann wrote in a statement after the game. "We created ball pressure, which lead to a lot of steals and fast break opportunities on the other side."

The onslaught continued in the second half, and it set up a meeting with Fort Zumwalt East Saturday.

Randy McRoberts and Caleb Strauss led the team with 10 points a piece, and McRoberts finished with four steals and four assists.

Uffmann said he was impressed with his team's 2.1-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, as well as his team's effort on the glass.Warriors
