PETERSBURG — Petersburg High School’s boys varsity squad improved to 7-3 on the season with a 53-49 Potomac Valley Conference verdict over Keyser on Monday night.

Senior Peyton Sindledecker led all scorers with 20 points, bucketing 5 of 7 attempts from the charity stripe. The senior duo of Jacob Hartman and Tyce Wisnewski hit for eight points apiece, while Dalton Lough and Matt VanMeter each chipped in three points each for the Vikes.

Keyser was led by Ryan Shoemaker with 15 points (6 for 6 from the free-throw line) and Marcus Price with 13 points.
