Ottawa High Opens Loop Race With Argentine Friday
Ottawa High faces defending EKL champion Argentine in the league opener at the OHS gym. The Cyclones, 4-2 after a layoff, rely on guard Dennis Wieneke and Don Stevens to spark a balanced attack, while Argentine features 20.4 PPG scorer Rod Moore and forward Ivan Harvey among its top weapons. The outcome hinges on Ottawa’s quick defense and inside pressure to negate Moore’s scoring impact.
