Boos leads Sun Prairie past Craig

Missed free throws and the hot shooting of Michael Boos spelled trouble for Janesville Craig’s boys basketball team Saturday night.

Boos scored 10 of his game-high 16 points in the first quarter as Sun Prairie cruised to a 65-49 victory in a Big Eight Conference opener.

Craig High missed 16 of 25 free throws in falling to 0-2 in Mike Miller’s first season as head coach.

Sun Prairie (2-0, 1-0) had a 20-5 lead after the first quarter. The Cougars never got the lead under 10 as the missed free throws spoiled any chance of a comeback.

Craig junior Cody Dare tied Boos for game-high scoring honors with 16.

Daniel Fuller added 11 points for Sun Prairie.
