The Topper basketball team runs out of the locker room to face the Escalante Lobos in a nonconference game Friday night in Griffith Gymnasium. The Toppers were in control of the game throughout the night and led in all four quarters winning 72-66. What the Lobos lacked in height, they more than made up for in speed, which made for a very exciting game for the large fan turnout. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
