The Neillsville boys basketball team needed some big plays near the end of the game by senior Taytor Lowry to pull out a 59-55 win over Owen-Withee on Tuesday night at the Fieldhouse in Neillsville.

Neillsville trailed the whole game until they came back late to tie the score at 55 with :30 left.  Lowry then got a steal and a layup with 10 seconds left to give Neillsville a 57-55 lead.  Lowry then poked the ball away from Owen-Withee's Roy Stinson into the hands of Braylon Boyer with 2.9 seconds left.  Boyer then sunk two freethrows to seal it for Neillsville.  

Neillsville's Andrew Brown led all scorers with 20 points before fouling out with under 2 minutes left.  Mason Roenz and Bryce Erickson each had 11 points for the Warriors.

Caleb Geldernick led Owen-Withee with 19 points, Logan Amacher had 13 points and Tyler Weaver had 10.    

Neillsville improves to 10-2 overall and 7-0 in the ECC.  Owen-Withee falls to 6-8 overall and 4-4 in the ECC.
