Dec. 10—Prep boys basketball

Marysville 74, Armijo 42

The Indians opened their own Les Schwab tournament with a commanding win over Armijo, 74-42 to advance into the winner's side of the bracket.

The tournament, a three-day extravaganza, concludes today with the championship, consolation finals, third- and fifth-place games.

On Thursday, Marysville's Amrin Mann led the way with 19 points, while Joshua Brown chipped in 18 for the Indians (3-2).

Marysville's Nicqwan Mills provided a near double-double of 14 points and eight rebounds.

Marysville's tournament is one of two large school boys basketball tournaments happening this weekend, with the other being the annual Mel Good tournament hosted by Yuba City High. The Honkers and River Valley Falcons were both in action on Thursday's opening night. YC edged West Campus, 61-58, while River Valley was beaten by reigning state Division III champion Pleasant Valley, 63-43.

RV stayed even with PV after eight minutes but the Vikings began to pull away in the second to grab a 30-21 at the break. In the third, RV (6-3) was outscored, 18-9 to eventually fall short to the Northern California juggernaut.

Gulbag Judge scored a team-high 15 points for the Falcons, while Tayvione Brown chipped in 12 in defeat.

PV's Cam Bussey scored a game-high 18.

Both the Marysville and Yuba City tournaments end today.
