The Argonia Red Raider boys basketball team stunned Oxford Tuesday night with a huge comeback in the fourth quarter.
Argonia was trailing by 18 in the third quarter, but came back to win 63-57 in Oxford.
Leander Green scored 35 points in the winning cause for the Red Raiders.
Oxford was led by Bryce Mayes, who had 33 points.
Both Green and Mayes had four 3-pointers for their teams.
“This was a frustrating ball game,” said Kyle Green, Oxford head boys basketball coach. “Defensively, we did not get it done in the second half. Argonia kids did a great job of taking advantage of our defensive breakdowns and I thought Green really stepped up and played a great game.”
Oxford took a 21-15 first-quarter lead and built it to 15 with a 17-8 output in the second quarter.
Argonia roared back with a 16-8 advantage in the third quarter and 24-11 output in the fourth.
Argonia travels to Central/Burden Friday while Oxford hosts Elk Valley.
