Keuka Avenges Weekend Loss to Highlanders Thanks to Big First Half

KEUKA PARK, NY— Devin Milton scored a game-high 30 points as the Keuka Wolves capitalized on a big first half, avenging Saturday's loss to the Houghton Highlanders by defeating those same Highlanders three days later, 99-83.
 
The Wolves capitalized on two key runs during the first half.  The first came at the midway point, when Koke Schriver nailed a three to kick off an 8-0 run.  The second came minutes later when Keuka peeled off a 12-1 run. 
 
While Jordan Holmes sank a three pointer for the Highlanders to close out the half, the teams entered the locker room with Keuka holding a commanding, 54-35 lead.
 
While Houghton outscored the Wolves, 48-45, in the second half, the damage had been done, and the Highlanders never came closer than 15 points in the second half.
