MAYWOOD, Neb. — Medicine Valley’s boys gained a split of the neighborhood rivarly with their 68-51 win over Maywood-Hayes Center Tuesday night.

M-HC girls ruled the first varsity game, and those dangerous Wolves (13-7 record) only trailed 14-13 through one quarter of game two.

Yet Medicine Valley (10-6) showed a good team won’t stay down long — especially with high-flying junior Hayden Kramer hammering down two slam dunks.

The Raiders rebounded from two tough RPAC tourney losses to take control of Tuesday’s contest.

They built a 31-26 halftime lead which soon reached double figures before Wolves sharpshooter Weston Morrow (four three-pointers) helped spark a mini-comeback.

The Raiders brought their own long-rangegunner in sophomore Joe Brown (four threes) while regaining control.

Hayden Kramer’s corner three answered a basket from M-HC’s Haydn Farr.

Kramer soon went inside for another “traditional” three-point play to make it 54-41.

Brown quickly connected on another trifecta.

Lane Lenz’s basket and the second Hayden Kramer dunk created a largest margin of 61-41.

RAIDERS (68) — Hayden Kramer 19 points, Joe Brown 14, Hudson Stout 13, Sebastian Kramer 9, Kaden Bonini 6, Lane Lenz 4, Kyle Pate 3. Three-pointers: Brown 4, Pate, Hayden Kramer.

WOLVES (51) — Weston Morrow 15 points, Haydn Farr 10, Jeremiah Ingison 9, Kyler Cox 7, Jhett Sellers 3, Logan Littrel 3, Coy Hale 2, Josh Patel 2. Three-pointers: Morrow 4, Cox, Sellers, Littrel. Watch for coverage all season.
