It was a battle between the Twin Lakes and Western Valley Conferences in the Boys 2A District Semifinal between Manson NW-Webster and OABCIG, where the Falcons reigned supreme with a 69-39 victory.
The first quarter saw four lead changes by both teams and the Falcons with a slim 8-5 lead after the first. The second quarter, OABCIG showed their physical presence inside, bothering the Cougars. They outscored Manson 18-7 to take a 26-12 lead into half.
