The North Medford Black Tornado had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 points), and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Roseburg 83-80. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead North Medford to victory, but perhaps none more so than Houston Klug, who scored 33 points along with eight rebounds. Klug is on a roll when it comes to points, as he's now scored 16 or more in the last six games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Andrew Plankenhorn, who scored 15 points along with seven assists.
North Medford pushed their record up to 10-13 with that victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.5 points per game. As for Roseburg, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-8.
North Medford will stay at home for another game and welcome South Medford at 6:45 p.m. on February 20th. Roseburg's road trip will continue as they head out to face South Eugene at 6:45 p.m. on February 16th. One thing working in South Eugene's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last 16 contests.
