Rams collect first victory at Oran

Jay Simmons scored a game-high 31 points as Scott City picked up its first win of the season with an 80-66 triumph at Oran.

Alex King added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Rams (1-1), who also received 14 points from Jamie Pinkston.

Simmons also had eight rebounds and six assists.

"That's nearly a triple-double," Scott City coach Lance Amick said. "Jay really stepped up and showed what kind of player he is and had a nice game.

"Besides [Simmons and King], we had nice contributions from Rynn Eskew and Jamie Pinkston," Amick added. "They penetrated the ball to the hole so well tonight.

"We had a lot of guys step up and rebound. There were contributions everywhere. It was a total team effort and that's what we've been stressing."

Eskew had nine rebounds.

For Oran (3-2), Chase Seyer had a team-high 19 points. Kody Campbell followed with 17 points, Cody Romas had 11 and Robert Lange netted 10.
