Basketball file
The first meeting of the season between two of the pre-season teams-to-watch in the Moose Jaw high school boys basketball league lived up to its pre-season billing.

In the final game before the Christmas break, the Central Cyclones and Peacock Toilers put together a back-and-forth battle before the Cyclones emerged with a 95-90 win at Central.

As the score would indicate, the contest saw plenty of offence, with Mo Jabateh leading the way for the Cyclones with 38 points and 11 rebounds, while Ammiel Chin put up 23 points and Tommy Vincent 20.

Bryce Baumann continued his impressive start to the campaign with a 40-point showing, the top offensive output in the league so far this season. Mac Simpson also had a solid game with 29 points, while Rafael Pondevida scored 13.

Things weren’t quite as close in girls' action, where the Cyclones picked up an 80-50 victory over the Toilers. Central largely got the job done by committee, too, as their top two scorers -- Molly McLean and Ava Nichols -- led their squad with 14 points each.

Ella Muchowski scored 14 points for Peacock.

The leagues are now in hiatus for holidays. Next action in Jan. 11 when the Central boys and girls are at Notre Dame and the Peacock boys and girls make the trip to Lumsden. Boys games start at 6:20 p.m., girls contests at 8 p.m.
