Chris Brown poured in a season-high  20 points to lead the North Delta boys to a 60-40 romp over Starkville Academy Wednesday afternoon to salvage the final game of  the Magnolia Heights Tournament.

Geri Lamm added nine points while Corbin Baker and Ethan Frick contributed with eight and seven points. Derrick Shawn and Bryan Nickle chipped in with five points each. Bailey Guckert registered three while Matthew Barefoot finished with two points.

The North Delta girls were not as fortunate however as the Lady Wave fell to Magnolia Heights 49-41 in overtime.

Lauren Kimzey and Laci DuBravec each scored 12 points in the loss. Bradi Beard followed with nine points, six steals and six assists while Sara Waldrip added three points and pulled down nine rebounds.

 Charla Shea Darby and Katelyn Still rounded out the scoring with three and two points each. North Delta (12-8) opened the tournament with a 40-39 squeaker  over Starkville last Monday.

The victory was win number 600 in the coaching career of Green Wave head coach Phil Douglas.

Both varsity teams return to the hardwood Wednesday to face Pillow in the Kirk tournament.

The Lady Wave will tip off at 6:30 followed by boys action at 7:45.

A victory by the Lady Wave will advance them to the winners’ bracket  Friday against the Oak Hill/ Indianola winner while a loss puts them in the losers’ bracket Thursday against the West Memphis/Heritage loser.
