Marshmen Dominate Wayland Academy in 97-41 Win

The Horicon Marshmen boys’ basketball team secured a decisive victory on Tuesday, Jan. 20, overwhelming Wayland Academy with a final score of 97-41. Horicon, now holding a commanding 10-3 record, demonstrated offensive firepower and stifling defense against the 1-6 Wayland team.
The scoring onslaught began immediately, with Christian Schwartz sinking a three-pointer to open the game. Schwartz quickly followed up, capitalizing on a loose ball to launch an assist downcourt to Jay Graven for a fast break layup. He continued his hot start with another three-pointer, extending the Marshmen’s lead to 10-0 early in the contest.
Barrett Meyer joined the three-point frenzy, hitting one later in the first half. Schwartz’s spot-on shooting continued as he added another three-pointer, pushing the lead to 36-8. Meyer then capped off the half’s long-range shooting with one more before the break.
Horicon’s explosive first half gave them a massive 60-20 lead at halftime.
The pace slowed down considerably in the second half, with Horicon adding 37 points and Wayland scoring 21. Meyer started the second half with a steal and drove down the court for two points. Defensively, Reed Vorlob provided strong resistance, highlighted by several blocked shots. As the clock wound down, Isaiah Hollingsworth also managed to steal the ball, underscoring the team’s relentless effort.

The game concluded with the Marshmen cruising to a 97-41 victory.
This week, they hosted St. Mary’s Springs in a non-conference game on Monday night, after print time. Then they will travel to Hustisford on Thursday night, Jan. 29, with tip-off at 7:15 p.m.
