GAYLORD - Jan. 26, 2010 - Ogemaw Heights built a double-digit lead, then held off a 3-point barrage by Gaylord in the second half to claim a 68-55 boys basketball victory on Tuesday.

The Falcons got big games from Anthony Zettel, Alex Jennings and Justin Wejsa as they took a 27-17 lead at the half.

"We missed some buckets early that allowed Gaylord to stay closer than we would have liked," said Ogemaw coach Jon VanOosten. "We stretched out lead out 15 but Gaylord stayed in the game by making some 3's."

The Blue Devils drilled six treys in the second half, but Zettel scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and Wejsa had nine as the Falcons held on.

Zettel finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds, with Jennings adding 15 points and 10 boards. Wejsa finished with 16 points.

"Justin had a strong second half, which we've been waiting for," VanOosten said.

The Falcons (9-1) return to action Friday at home against Whittemore-Prescott.
