A trio of nine-point performances powered St. Joseph-Ogden past BHRA 46–37. The Spartans used three second‑quarter 3-pointers to take control and extend their early-season momentum.
ST. JOSEPH - St. Joseph-Ogden defeated Bismarck-Henning-Rossville-Alvin 46-37 in a home matchup last Tuesday. The Spartans used a strong second quarter, highlighted by three 3-pointers, to take a 25-19 lead into halftime and maintain control the rest of the way. SJO featured a balanced scoring effort, with senior Katie Erickson, junior Hayden Dahl and sophomore Atleigh Miller each finishing with nine points. Kayla Osterbur, Ainsley Dirksmeyer and Addie Brooks added five points apiece, while Timera Blackburn‑Kelley chipped in four to round out the Spartans’ offense.
BHRA’s Ella Acton led all scorers with 14 points, all coming in the first three quarters. Alivia Reifsteck and Gentry Elson contributed eight points each for the Blue Devils, who remained within reach but were unable to overcome SJO’s midgame surge.
The victory marks the third straight for St. Joseph-Ogden, which opened the season with a 30-point win over Arthur‑Lovington‑Atwood‑Hammond and followed with a 14-point victory against Clifton Central.
SJO looks to extend its winning streak to four when it hosts Tuscola in a nonconference matchup Monday.
