Arcola slowed a depleted Blue Ridge squad to a 55-36 win Friday night in Lincoln Prairie Conference high school boys basketball action Friday night in Farmer City.

Illness has swept through the Knights program this week as it impacted the team's Tuesday night game against Okaw Valley. Friday night just two players scored in double figures.

Isaac Price scored 11 points to pace Blue Ridge while Zach Lewis added ten.

Arcola was led by Tanner Thomas with 20 points. Jackson Miller added 14 points for the Purple Raiders.

Arcola goes to 18-6 on the season and 7-0 in the Lincoln Prairie.

Blue Ridge falls to 14-10 overall and 4-4 in league play. The Knights will host Cerro Gordo-Bement on Tuesday.
