In a game heard on WEZC and at dewittdailynews.com, the Monticello Sages beat Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammdon 42-10 in non-conference high school boy's basketball action Tuesday night at the Sievers Center in Monticello.

Monticello played Tuesday's game without leading scorer Trey Welter and playing against a winless 1A opponent, a Sages group that has struggled to find consistent offense had a chance to see new players step up, but nobody scored in double figures. 

Coach Kevin Roy did go deep into his bench early and often. Only junior Ike Young reached 20 minutes played for the Sages. He led all scorers with nine points and grabbed six rebounds. 

Jack Weidner, Ryan Wallen and Colton Vance had six points apiece. Maddux Quick added five points for Monticello.

On a night when the Knights weren't playing particularly physical or stingy defense, the Sages still turned the basketball over 19 times. For Monticello, the Knights' six-percent shooting kept those turnovers from hurting.

Monticello did dominate the glass, outrebounding ALAH 44-19.

The Sages shot 41.5 percent from the floor and scored 20 points in the paint.

ALAH drops to 0-8 overall.

Monticello goes to 3-4. They will travel to the Comets Sports Boosters Shootout Saturday at 5:30 pm to take on Greenville.
