Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Rockland). The stars were shining brightly for them in a 73-58 win over the Challis Vikings on Thursday. For the Bulldogs, this counts as revenge for the 60-57 victory the Vikings walked away with the last time they faced one another back in February of 2018.
Challis' defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Brayden Ollar, who posted 12 points along with eight rebounds and five steals, and Jacen Farr, who went 7 of 15 on his way to 17 points and five rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Ramey Rhoades, who had eight points.
