The Blue Dragon JV team opened up with a 17-2 first quarter lead and never looked back en route to a 40-22 victory Friday night at Tri-Valley. Garretson started out pushing the tempo from the get-go and wore the Mustangs out right away and that was key for the Blue Dragons.
“If we get everyone to buy into our game plan and push the ball up the court from the start, we will be in every game we play this year,” stated coach Cory Buchholz.
“We played about 22 of the 24 minutes of really solid basketball
and when we get that kind of an effort each and every night, great things are going to happen,” said Buchholz.
The Dragons were led in scoring by Cooper Long with 13, Triston Rekstad with 9, Josef Zahn with 8, Isaiah Gnadt and Brady DeBates with 6 and 4, respectively.
The JV will have played Canton on Tuesday, Dec. 17 and will play Colman – Egan on Thursday, Dec. 19 at 6:15 in the Dragon’s Lair (results pending).
