Despite four players scoring in double figures, the Rosemount boys basketball team couldn’t come up with an answer for Lakeville South’s Alex Richter in a 81-73 loss to the Cougars on Friday.

Richter scored a game-high 33 points in the contest, helping South bounce back from Tuesday’s loss to Apple Valley and keeping the Cougars (15-5, 10-2 SSC) in a tie with Eagan atop the South Suburban Conference standings.

Andrew Nelson led the Irish (6-14, 3-9) with 17 points on the night, while Matt Nelson added 14, Tyler Liermann had 13 and Charlie Broback had 10.
