McCOOK, Neb. — Waiting all day to play didn’t lessen Wauneta-Palisade’s intensity throughout a 44-31 Cattle Trail win over Medicine Valley Tuesday night.

The Broncos bolted to a 13-2 lead while earning their first win this season.

Senior Tucker Boos hit two baskets en route to his team-high 15 points. He drilled a pair of three-point shots to prevent Med Valley Raider comebacks.

Senior Ben Anderjaska sent five points through the nets in that first quarter and classmate Ty Duvel hit two more baskets.

Austen Rozelle — another well-seasoned veteran — shook off a scoreless first quarter and totaled 12 moer key Bronco points.

Anderjaska finished with nine points and Duvel scored six.

The Broncos earned a Cattle Trail semifinal shot to play Hitchcock County at 5 p.m. on Friday in MCC’s Graff Events Center.

Medicine Valley’s Hudson Stout topped all scorers as he delivered 18 points for the Raiders.

They’ll continue Cattle Trail tourney play in a 5 p.m. consolation semifinal with Southwest at McCook High School.
