The scoreboard didn't malfunction, which was a legitimate concern inside Osseo High School Tuesday, Jan. 18.

It had been nearly four years since the visiting side had outscored the Orioles in a boys basketball game, a streak that reached 40 games after Osseo beat Duluth East by six the previous Saturday.

But Tuesday it ended, as Champlin Park handed fifth-ranked Osseo its first home loss since a March of 2006 with a 61-53 Northwest Suburban Conference victory.

"We talked about it all week," said Champlin Park head coach Mark Tuchscherer. "We wanted to be the team that ended their streak, and the boys came through."

Seniors Josh Pella and Kyle Zimmerman delivered the collective knockout blow, combing for 26 points and 24 rebounds.
