Wauseon senior guard Tyson Rodriguez drained four three-point shots in the second quarter, helping the Indians overcome an early 10-point deficit and eventually beat the Swanton Bulldogs 47-35 in Swanton’s Kevin J. McQuade Gymnasium on Friday night in an NWOAL contest.  The Bulldogs, on the strength of long-range shots of their own, held a 19-9 advantage before Rodriguez caught fire and staked the Indians to 26-25 halftime lead.  Swanton’s outside shooting cooled in the second half, allowing Wauseon to extend their lead to 11 points, 42-31, entering the fourth quarter.  The Indians’ lead held steady throughout the final frame as the Bulldogs never really threatened again.  Rodriguez led Wauseon with 19 points and Charlie Wood topped all players with 20 points.

Wauseon picks up their second NWOAL win against no losses and moves to 7-4 overall.  They travel to Sylvania Southview on Tuesday, January 23^rd to take on the Cougars.  Swanton suffers their first league loss to fall to 1-1 and 5-8 on the season.  They will play next away against the Fayette Eagles, also on Tuesday, January 23^rd.
