WARRENSBURG — Seniors Dalton Christian and Zach Wolf made their presence known in the second half, and the Smith-Cotton Tigers beat Warrensburg 60-55 Saturday in a West Central Conference boys basketball game at Warrensburg High School.
Neither had big games offensively — Christian had nine points and Wolf had five — but their points came at opportune moments.
