The Lisbon boys’ basketball team can make life miserable for opponents, and they did that Friday, Jan. 3, in a 66-15 win over Midland in Wyoming.

The Lions got up 45-5 by halftime, and put the screws to the Eagles defensively.

“We got off to a good start,” Lisbon Coach Levi Montague said. “Defensively we were able to keep them out of the paint and off the offensive rebounds.”

Midland (0-8) shot just 23.8 percent (5 of 21) from the field, and had 38 turnovers.

Lisbon (5-2) had 25 steals, including seven by Daylin Schaefer.

“We were able to get in the passing lanes for transition points,” Montague said.

Grayson Wollum led the scoring with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Jackson Powers had 15 points and Ian Whittenbaugh added 10 points. Daylin Schaefer had nine assists and five rebounds to go with his seven steals.
