Jarvis Thomas Omersa scored 27 points and Orono defeated host Waconia 85-55 on Tuesday night in boys’ basketball.

The 6-8 Omersa, who has signed with the Gophers, had his share of highlight-reel dunks and blocks. An early steal and dunk in transition helped Orono to a 5-0 lead to start the game.

Waconia began the second half on a 9-0 run to pull within three, but Orono pulled away from there. With reserves on the floor, a barrage of three-pointers helped the Spartans build their lead up to 30.

Nick Fulford scored 25 points to lead Waconia.
