Three Houn' Dawgs scored in double figures. That fact usually spells victory and tonight was no different, as Aurora ran away from the Monett Cubs at Monett Friday, earning them a key Big 8 Conference win, 60-33.

After leading by 7 at the break, 28-21, Aurora outscored Monett 17-4 in the third quarter and that gave them a 20-point cushion after three quarters.

The lead grew to 27 by the final buzzer.

Corey Gregory led Aurora in scoring for the second straight night, this time with 16. Jordan Fronabarger added 11 and Garrett Bader had 10.

Aurora, now 6-6 and 1-0 in the conference, takes a two-game winning streak to Mt. Vernon next Tuesday, Jan. 15.
