EMPORIUM — Adam Shaffer scored a career-high 38 points to lead the Red Raiders to a big 82-42 victory over the Gators on Thursday in the North Tier League.
Shaffer made 14 field goals in the contest, including three 3-pointers, while going 7-for-11 from the foul line.
“Adam played a great game for us,” Cam County coach Mark Guido said.
Elsewhere, Marcus Brown notched a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, while Caden Beldin scored 11 points.
Howie Stuckey (14 points) and Jordan Card (13) finished in double figures for the Gators.

Smethport 49, Galeton 34
SMETHPORT — The Hubbers earned a come-from-behind win in a foul-filled affair on Thursday night to improve to 4-2 overall and 2-0 in NTL play.
After trailing 20-16 at the half, Smethport was able to outscore the Tigers 33-14 the rest of the way. The Hubbers managed this despite having three players foul out.
Caleb Lutz scored a team-high 11 points, while Brandon Peterson had nine points and five rebounds.
“We started off real cold in the first half,” Smethport coach Jay Acker said. “We came out in the second half and started making some shots. Our defense created some turnovers. We handled the ball a lot better and made a lot better passes.
“It was a really good game; both teams played extremely hard.”
Evan Brooks led Galeton with 16 points, while Joel Griffin added 11.
Smethport will visit Austin on Jan. 2; Galeton (2-3 overall, 1-1 NTL) will host Bucktail on Dec. 30.
