Hugoton’s boys kicked off their 2018 Blue and Red Classic with a loss against Perryton. They outscored the Rangers in the first quarter, and then couldn’t regain their rhythm, ultimately losing the contest 60-78. The second day of the tourney went much better for the Eagles as they battled the Guymon High School. Hugoton came out swinging, outscoring the visiting Tigers in every quarter except the second. Friday’s game ended with an Eagle victory 62-45. This landed the Hugoton boys in Saturday’s championship game.
