The Audubon Wheelers were able to deliver some payback to the AHSTW Vikings with a 65-44 win on senior night. AHSTW played a strong game in a 6 point win over the Wheelers back on January 4th. This time the Wheelers stepped up the defensive pressure and got the offense going in the second half to pull away for a comfortable win. Wheeler Head Coach Colleman Mullenix said he felt the team got into a better flow in the second half.

The Vikings led by one at the end of the first quarter but the Wheelers grabbed the lead midway through the second quarter and never trailed again. The Wheelers led by 7 at halftime and pushed the lead to 17 by the end of the third at 38-21. The 16-6 advantage in the third quarter put the game out of reach for the Vikings. Coach Mullenix was proud of the improved defensive effort against the Vikings and was glad to have a happy senior night.

Audubon was led by Kaiden Smith with 21 points and 19 from Tate Killeen. Audubon improves to 15-6 on the season and now have over a week off before their opening Class 1A District game against Logan-Magnolia on February 14th.

AHSTW was led by 14 points from freshman Raydden Grobe and he had 12 of those in the second half. The Vikings finish the regular season with an 11-10 record and will prep for their opening district game against Woodbine on February 14th.
