That said, the only major glitch occurring wasn’t over the airwaves but Scobey’s inability to put points on the scoreboard in the first half, where they trailed the Coyotes 13-9.
Dodson sophomore Junior Stiffarm gave his squad the early lead at 5-0 while Tristan Fladager’s 3-point bank shot beat the buzzer making it 5-3 at the first quarter break.
Fladager’s layup off a Gage Hallock assist produced the initial tie at 5-all but the Coyotes went ahead 13-7. Kolten Machart, a Scobey eighth grader, sank two free throws at the 38-second mark making it 13-9 at halftime, where the visitors were winning the turnover battle 6-9 and the home team out-rebounding them 17-16.
Scobey freshman Cooper Axtman sank a field goal and Braxton Wolfe converted an offensive rebound into a 13-all score. Boen Tande’s 3-point field goal from the left corner at the midway point of the period put the Spartans ahead 16-13, their first lead of the game.
