STRATFORD — Stratford shot 47 percent but could not hold off a second-half run by Rib Lake and lost 68-64 in a nonconference boys basketball game Monday night at Stratford High School.
The Tigers (2-2) led 35-27 at halftime before the Redmen outscored them by 12 in the second half to pull out the win.
Nick Stoflet and Ethan Nagel each scored 15 points, and Derrick Schmidt added 14 for Stratford, which made 25 of 53 shots from the field overall but was just 3 of 17 from 3-point range.
Stratford opens its Marawood Conference South Division schedule Friday night at home against Wausau Newman Catholic.
