WARREN, Pa. – Parks Ordiway scored 19 of his 21 points in the first half as Warren earned a 68-47 Region 5 win over Oil City.
Ordiway drilled five first-half threes, while Owen Becker finished with 10 points for the Dragons. Kody Vega tallied seven points for the Dragons, who had a total of nine different players make their way into the scoring column.
Tommy Nyquist had six points, but much more than that, constantly set up his teammates for open looks.
The win was a bounce-back of sort for the Dragons, following a road loss at Region 5 leader Fariview in a game that was a battle right to the finish.
Ordiway was named Icyy Ink Player of the Game and talked about the win afterward:
It was also an important game for the Dragons in terms of region standings and potential playoff seeding, as both teams came in with identical 8-3 region records. The Dragons improved to 12-8 overall.
