AMERICAN FALLS - Marsh Valley capitalized on a shooting slump in the second quarter by American Falls to claim a 61-42 win Thursday at American Falls.

The teams ended the first half tied, 14-14. The Eagles then outscored the Beavers 15-3 in the second for a 29-17 halftime lead, and the Beavers never recovered.

"The second quarter killed us," American Falls coach Roger Thomas said. "We couldn't get anything going offensively, and Marsh Valley just came out and shut us down."

Landon Fonsbeck and Dallin Bills led Marsh Valley with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Devin Mock led the Beavers with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

American Falls (5-7, 0-2 3A Fifth District) next travels to play Bear Lake on Thursday.
