Titan boys basketball season starts with two solid wins

In the O-H Titans' first game of the year, "the Titans played as a team," said head coach Travis Schuh. "Every starter contributed in some way statistically." Starters were juniors Carsen Weber, Trevor King, Sam Schafer and Shane Whitaker and senior Jacob DeWulf. The only other senior on the team, Madison Charlton, is recovering from knee surgery for a torn meniscus and did not suit up. Schuh said he hoped Charlton would be able to rejoin the team toward the end of the season.

Whitaker scored 12 points in the game, followed by Schafer with 10, DeWulf and Weber 7 each, King 5 and Dakota Largent 2. Schafer led in rebounding with 8, followed closely by King and DeWulf with 6 each.
