JV Tigers end season with two wins

The last two games were in the Licking Tourney that was postponed, coach Carey Davison said. Salem had to forfeit its first round game due to the weather and that put the Tigers in the loser'S bracket. Also because of the Cabool game being rescheduled to Saturday the Tigers were without two players for the tournament.

Cody Whitaker led Salem scorers with 12 points. Matt Sirois had nine points, Tyler Wofford eight, Austin Bettigrew five, CJ Davison, Alex Maggard and Brady Floyd four each and Kutter Tiefenthaler and Carson Sheppard two each.

Mountain Grove did not score a 2-point field goal. The Panthers had four, 3-point shots and three of six free throws.

In the Plato win, Salem held a 12-4 lead and a 27-8 halftime margin. The Tigers outscored Plato 18-6 in the second half.

Sirois led all scorers with 13 points. Wofford had 11 points, CJ Davison nine, Joe Hernandez eight, Bettigrew five, and Maggard four.

In the West Plains game, CJ Davison paced Salem with 11 points. Wofford had eight, Sirois four, Bettigrew three and Maggard two.

West Plains led Salem 12-7 at halftime and 20-13 at halftime. The Zizzers won the third quarter 17-5. Both teams scored 10 points in the fourth period.

"With only seven players trying to play two games in four hours is a tough way to go, but I was proud of these guys as they worked hard and never gave up in this game," coach Davison said.

West Plains hit only two more field goals than Salem but connected on four, 3-point shots compared to none for Salem.
