The Marshfield Columbus Catholic boys basketball team rolled past Loyal 46-18 in its Cloverbelt Conference East Division opener on Tuesday at Loyal High School.

The Dons improved to 2-2 on the season and 1-0 in the Cloverbelt East as they open defense of their title.

Columbus’ scheduled game at home against Colby on Friday has been postponed until next Tuesday, Dec. 7. The game was moved due to the Colby football team making it to the state tournament and postponing the start of the basketball team’s practice schedule.

Also Tuesday, the Columbus girls lost a nonconference game to Prentice 54-24 at Columbus Catholic High School. The Dons fall to 1-2 and open their Cloverbelt East season Thursday at home against Augusta.
