Fourth quarter run lifts East Mills over Lourdes Central Catholic
East Mills used an 18-7 fourth quarter to rally past Lourdes Central Catholic in a 55-50 win at the Mid America Shootout in Council Bluffs Saturday night.
The Wolverines (4-3 overall, 3-1 in the Corner Conference) trailed 32-23 at the half and 43-37 at the end of three quarters before staging the fourth quarter comeback.
Mason Camden paced the Wolverines with 23 points. The junior guard added five rebounds and four steals.
Zayne Graybill came off the bench to score 12 points for East Mills.

Riverside 62,
East Mills 47
Peyton Amdor poured in 29 points to lead Riverside to a 62-47 win over East Mills in non-conference boys basketball in Malvern Thursday.
The Wolverines were within striking distance down 39-34 at the end of the third quarter but the Bulldogs out-scored them 23-13 in the fourth quarter to pull away.
“I thought we competed better last night than against Bedford,” said East Mills coach Kevin Schafer. “Riverside shot really well from the three-point line in the first and fourth quarter and that was the difference. Our boys handled their pressure better as the evening went. They basically play five athletic guards and really get after you. It was good for our team to see that kind of pressure.”
Cooper Hagen scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead East Mills. Beau Burdic chipped in 11 points and Mason Camden 10.
Owen Fenner added 17 points for Riverside.
Bedford 67,
East Mills 42
Quentin Dalton poured in a game-high 32 points to lead Bedford past East Mills 67-42 in Corner Conference boys basketball last Tuesday.
“They were bigger, stronger, and faster than us,” said East Mills coach Kevin Schafer. “Our youth definitely hurt us. They were tough both inside and from the three-point line last night. We struggled slowing their transition game as well. They are clearly the best team in the Corner this year.”
Dalton added eight eight rebounds and four assists.
Mason Camden scored 16 points and dished out five assists to lead the Wolverines.
