Before the Reed and Spanish Springs boys met in their first basketball contest of the season Monday night, both teams continued to pad their conference records.
The Cougs picked up two more wins last week to improve to 3-0 in the High Desert League after a 53-40 win at Reno on Friday and a 62-24 win at Hug last Tuesday.
Leo Grass led the way with 16 points in Friday’s game while Mason Whittaker and DJ Panfili each had 12. Grass had a game-high 19 points just three days prior against Hug in a game that saw 10 Cougs get into the scoring column.
The Raiders had just one game last week when they pounded Reno 58-36.
