Tyson Rodriguez drained seven shots from behind the arc for all of his game-high 21 points in leading the Wauseon Indians to a 54-31 blowout victory over the Delta Panthers in a game that pitted two of the four teams tied atop the boys NWOAL basketball standings with a 3-1 record. Landon Hines controlled the boards on both ends of the court, scoring 14 points, blocking shots and pulling down rebounds as the Indians scored in double figures in all four quarters while holding the Panthers’ offense to single digits in each frame.
