Grayville controlled the third quarter and expanded the lead to 17 points at the end of the period.

The Salukis did cut the lead to 9 twice in the fourth quarter, but could not get any closer.

The 9-11 Salukis were led by Ozzy Ash with 22 points.

The squad is right back in action Wednesday when they face Patoka/Odin in the consolation bracket at Webber High School.
