WAITSBURG - The Waitsburg-Prescott boys' basketball team won two big games over the week­end, extending their win­ning streak to four games. Their season-ending league record of 6-4 gives them a fourth seed going into the Southeast 2B District 9 tournament this week.

On Friday night, the Cards dismantled Day­ton 48-26. For the third game in a row, forward Co­rey Brownlee led Cardinal scoring, this time with 10 points. Brownlee also led WP in rebounding with 10. Devin Acevedo and Owen Lanning each had seven points.

The Cardinals broke the game open early, taking an 18-9 lead after one period. They cruised from there, outscoring the Bulldogs in each quarter.

Zach Waggoner was high scorer for Dayton, with 11 points, followed by Logan Hays with nine.

On Saturday, WP over­came an early Asotin lead to beat the Panthers 56-48. After trailing by six at the end of one, the Cards out­scored the Panthers 24-11 in the second quarter to take a 32-25 lead at the half.
