The Keota Eagles continued their excellent boys’ basketball season by defeating Colfax-Mingo 84-43 Friday night. Keota doubled up Colfax-Mingo 20-10 in the first quarter and stretched their advantage to 21 points at halftime. Eagles junior forward Evan Vittetoe had a big night with game highs of 20 points and nine rebounds. Junior Sawyer Stout kept up his high-scoring ways with 17 points, while classmate Tanner Waterhouse scored a season-high 13 points off the bench. Sophomore Billie Kindred added another all-around performance with 10 points, seven rebounds and seven assists as Keota improves to 11-3.

The Eagle girls were not as fortunate Thursday night, falling 39-33 to English Valleys. A three-point Keota lead after one quarter was cut to one at the half, and English Valleys would tie the game up in the third period before completing the comeback. Eagles sophomore Kimberly Clarahan had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, but Keota still falls to 4-10 ahead of both teams hosting Belle Plaine on Tuesday.
