Oskaloosa’s boys’ basketball team bounced back from last Friday’s (12/6) overtime loss to Grinnell to defeat Centerville 83-36 Tuesday night (12/10) in Oskaloosa.  The Indians never trailed as they improve to 2-1 on the season.  Center Xavier Foster had 17 points to lead the Oskaloosa scoring.  Indians Assistant Coach DaJuan Foster gave credit to senior forward Colton Butler for rebounding.

“Colton is a kid who does everything really well.  He doesn’t necessarily make mistakes.  We challenged him.  I challenged Colton right before we came out, right before tip, to get more rebounds. The kid does everything that you ask him and we just challenged him to be better on the glass and he came out and he responded well.”

The Indians boys are off until Friday night (12/13) when they play at Dallas Center-Grimes.  You can hear that boys and girls doubleheader on KBOE-FM with Friday night’s coverage starting at 6.
