Alva's Phillip Randall (20) takes a shot over the Blackwell defense.

After three previous wins against Blackwell this season, the Alva Goldbugs weren't too worried about the outcome of their Monday district playoff game in Alva. The Goldbugs won by a lop-sided 61-37 to take the district championship.

The outcome of the game seemed fairly certain after the first quarter when Alva led 13-1. The Maroons were finally able to hit the basket in the second, scoring 13 to Alva's 16. The Goldbugs led 29-14 at halftime.

In the third period, Alva had 19 points to 14 for the Maroons to increase the lead 48-28. The Goldbugs emptied the bench in the final period and won 61-37.

For Blackwell, Aaron Rascon and Collin Prince had ten points each. Charlie Lux scored seven, Nat Hindman five and Skyler Landwehr three.
