VINEMONT — Charlie O’Neil netted a team-high 15 points, Kmal Bell and Tanner Malin each pitched in 11, and Good Hope’s varsity boys scratched out a 61-52 road win over Vinemont on Tuesday night.

The Raiders (5-2) led throughout most of the matchup, but the Eagles made it tough on them during the second half.

Vinemont climbed to within 38-34 midway through the third quarter, but O’Neil — who sank four 3-pointers during the period — helped Good Hope build a nine-point cushion (46-37) heading into the final stanza, where the road team held on for the victory.

“Really proud of Charlie tonight,” Good Hope coach Drew Adams said. “That kid got to the gym each weekday in June at 4 a.m. voluntarily and got shots up until our summer workouts started at 6 a.m. I’m proud to see his hard work starting to pay off.”

Colton Lindsey and Weston Hancock each racked up nine points for the Raiders, while Noah Barnette (four) and Tyler Cone (two) also contributed.

Vinemont’s Kix Johnson led all scorers with 20 points. Isaac Moody added 16.

Jaxon Holcomb (seven), Colby Miller (five) and Toby Hill (four) rounded out the scoring.

“Hats off to coach (Preston) Boyd and his guys,” Adams said. “They battled and made shot after shot. As talented as our group can be, we don’t have a lot of guts right now and aren’t handling adversity as well as we should. We have a huge game with Oneonta on Friday. If we want to win that one, we’ve got to get a lot better these next two days.”
