CHADRON – Adams State’s Kaimyn Pruitt scored 21 points…all in the second half…and three others joined him in double figures as the Grizzlies turned back Chadron State 86-65 in their Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game Saturday in Chadron.

Pruitt hit seven of 11 from the field and all six of his foul shots but he didn’t have to carry the scoring burden. Norvell Arnold scored 16 points, including 13 in the opening half, Tyler McDaniels chipped in 12 and Justin Kauffman added 11 as the Grizzlies improved to 9-1 overall and 7-0 in the conference.

Adams State, which led wire-to-wire, shot well from the field – connecting on 30 of 59 attempts – but the Grizzlies did plenty of damage from 3-point range, nailing 12 long distance shots in 27 tries. They also managed to score 30 points off 23 Chadron State turnovers and received 41 points from their bench.

Chadron State sank 15 of 42 from the field but managed to keep things close by connecting on 29 of 35 from the free throw line a night after hitting just over 50 percent of its shots.

Four players finished in double figures for the Eagles, now 1-11 overall and 1-6 in league play. Grant Stone led Chadron State with 18 points, Zac Bargen finished with 12 and both Kendrick Holliman and Chris Taylor scored 11.

Kyle Vinich and Bargen each had six rebounds to lead CSC and Justyn Anderson handed out four assists.
