The 10th ranked Northern Oklahoma College Mavs used a balance attack Monday night in an 83-48 win over Labette.

Dylan McLean led four double figure scorers in an 83-48 rout of Labette (KS) Monday night.

Tyrel Morgan led the Mavs with five rebounds and JD Ray had nine assists.  Nate Goodlow had five steals for NOC.

"Last night was a great team effort," said coach Donnie Jackson.  "We challenged the guys to prepare for the game like it was a conference game. Since we started off with a first game bye while other teams in our league were playing, I thought we needed to challenge them to lock in for longer periods of time, reduce some of the mistakes we need to clean up and make the extra pass to open teammates, which we did."

"Mark (Berry) really brought a lot of defensive energy to our team and he is thriving in that role. I thought it carried over to his other teammates."

NOC led Monday's game throughout jumping out to a 36-21 halftime lead and built that edge through the second half.

The Mavs open conference play Thursday night at NEO.

"Now we are 0-0. The non-conference portion is over and every game is Region play," Jackson said.    "NEO was picked as the favorite to win our league, and rightfully so. We will need to be tough mentally and physically if we want a chance to win a region game on the road."
