Lauver, Indians get TVL win

MIFFLINTOWN — Ben Lauver scored 17 points and Juniata defeated Newport, 43-34, in Tri-Valley League boys basketball game Thursday night.

It comes as no surprise to Juniata coach Al Ream that Lauver led the team in points, but Ream also enjoys what else is happening around the team.

“We’re trying to spread the wealth and find the open guys to get some shots,” he said. “That’s the idea of what we’re trying to do. Ben’s our main scorer, but others getting in on that, too.”

Juniata (5-1) participates in the Ram Winter Jam, Dec. 28 to 29 at Penns Valley.
