From staff reports

Roundup of Tuesday’s high school sports action from the Greater Spokane League.

Boys basketball

MODE Prep went 0-3 at a Grind Session play-in tournament over the weekend in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. But all three losses were within 10 points, and according to coach Jon Adams, they “were right there in every game. All things considered I was pretty positive.”

MODE Prep dealt with injuries over the weekend and played just six players over the three games. They were led in scoring by Zuby Toms, who averaged 27 points per game, and Matt Cummins with 12 points and eight assists per game.“These guys learned that they can compete,” Adams said of his team, playing in the new national prep circuit program’s first three games. “We have a lot to work on but we have a lot to work with.”

Next up is the Great Western Fall Classic at Juan Diego High School in Draper, Utah, Thursday through Saturday. MODE Prep’s first local game is against Elite Prep (Seattle) at North Idaho College on Nov. 13.
