SPRING VALLEY — Mendota faced off against Bureau Valley in the third round of the Spring Hall Holiday Colmone Classic Wednesday night. The Storm were able to make it a game for two quarters, but the Trojans built a lead in the third period that Bureau Valley could not overcome. The final score was 61-47 in favor of the Trojans.

“We played one quarter really well. (We) Just didn’t sustain it,” BV coach Jason Marquis said. “We’re looking around for passion. Mendota’s pretty good. We didn’t play well enough to win. We’ve got Stark County on Friday, another good team. We need to execute better. We need to put four quarters together.”

Senior Trae Blumhorst led the Trojans with 20 points. Sophomore Parker Neuhalfen was the Storm’s highest scorer with 16 points.
