Still searching for their first win in the Siouxland Conference, the Okoboji boys basketball team went scoreless for 18 straight possession en route to a 61-30 defeat at Boyden-Hull Thursday night. That scoreless stretch included their entire third quarter, during which the Pioneers were outscored 17-0. Brian Dubois paced Okoboji with a dozen points, including two first half three-pointers. The Pioneers will take their 0-8 league mark on the road again Friday when they take on Sibley-Ocheyedan. That game can be heard live on Q102.

Despite numerous opportunities to tie the game up or take the lead throughout the second half, the Okoboji girls basketball team trailed from start to finish in a 46-39 setback at Boyden-Hull in Siouxland Conference play Thursday. The Pioneers scored just two points in the opening quarter, and had a chance to cut the deficit to four with a minute to play, but a missed layup led to free throws and the win for the Comets. Skylar Hansen’s eleven points was tops for Okoboji, with Taylor Poppema contributing nine. It’s a short turnaround for the Pioneers, as they travel to Sibley-Ocheyedan on Friday for another conference battle. That game can be heard live on Q102.
