Gipson Leads Mules Past Plattsburg Lathrop senior Brock Gipson scored 24 points and led the Lathrop Mules past the Plattsburg Tigers for a 64-55 victory on Friday, February 18. Gipson nailed three, three-point field goals in the first two and half minutes of the game, as the Mules opened with a 13-2 run on their rivals from down the road. Lathrop carried that momentum throughout most of the contest and were up by as much as 21 in the final quarter of the game, but much like they did a week prior against North Platte, the Tigers clawed back into the contest. In the final four minutes of the game Plattsburg spun together a10-0 run that put the Mules back on their heals, with Lathrop managing just three more points in the contest. Plattsburg's deficit proved too much to overcome, however, as Lathrop held out for the win. Gipson put up a game-high 24 points, while fellow Lathrop seniors Caleb Vanderkooi and Devin Sellers had 13 and 16 points, respectively. Without the services of senior Justin McFarland or sophomore Jordan May, Plattsburg senior Damond Lanham still managed 17 points on the night, while Cody DeFreece and Matt Holliman each had nine points. All nine of DeFreece's points came on secondhalf treys.
