Coming off a disappointing 59-58 loss to 1A Smith Valley, 3A Yerington gave 4A North Valleys all it could handle on Wednesday. Yerington stayed within eight points late in the game before North Valleys pulled away.
"It was a better performance, a better effort," Yerington coach Daron Wildermuth said.
Wes Thomas had another huge game for the Lions, scoring 23 points.
