WADENA – The Perham boys basketball team continued its dominant start to the 2022-23 season.
The Yellowjackets (4-0) handled Wadena-Deer Creek (3-2) 72-35 on Tuesday night at Wadena-Deer Creek High School. Micah Thompson led the way for Perham with 21 points. Alex Ohm (19) and Soren Anderson (18) also landed in double figures.

“Perham is an incredibly skilled, athletic and smart team,” WDC head coach Kevin Tumberg said. “They came out and worked hard on both ends of the court. Our boys battled hard with them in the first half, holding the score to 30-19. We executed our game plan and slowed Perham down. But, unfortunately, we ran out of juice in the second half.”
