The Black Tornado got strong performances from three freshmen and registered a 39-34 home victory over Klamath Union. North finished 3-4 in the SOC. "We bumped our lineup around to get ready for the district tournament coming up in a week," North Medford assistant coach John Beck said. "We wanted to get the most and the best matches we could."
