GRANTS PASS — Connor Scott scored a game-high 27 points Tuesday and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Bend High to a season-opening 60-49 boys basketball road win over Grants Pass.

Scott scored 13 of his points in the first quarter to help stake the Lava Bears (1-0) to an early lead.

But after the two teams went into halftime tied 28-28, the Lava Bears dominated the second half, spearheaded by a defensive effort that yielded just nine third-quarter points.

“We had a very good defensive third quarter,” said Bend assistant coach Scott Baker. “We really clamped down and made some big plays late in the third quarter and early in the fourth.”

Jaylin Robinson chipped in 12 points for the Lava Bears, and Wyatt Beaumarchais dished out seven assists and had five steals.

David Larson also blocked four shots to help stymie the Cavemen.

Bend will host North Medford on Friday.
