The “C” team traveled to Tri- Valley for their first game of the year and came away with a 47-41 overtime victory on Friday night. With 4.8 seconds on the clock and down by 3, Isaiah Gnadt hit a three- pointer from the right wing to send a back and forth battle into overtime where the Blue Dragons took control for good.
Garretson was led by Gnadt with 13 points, Drew Peterson with 10, followed by Dylan Jessen and Sam Schleuter each with 9; and Cadyn Ockenga rounding out the scoring with 6 points.
“I was extremely proud of our effort against Tri-Valley. With only having six players for this game, I asked guys to step up and play more minutes than they are used to playing, and they all did in a big way. We, as a team, for the most part, executed everything that we have been working on the past two weeks in practice. I can’t wait to see these young men keep growing and getting better as a team,” said coach Cory Buchholz.
The C team played Canton on Tuesday, Dec. 17 and will be playing a “C” team triangular with Baltic and Dell Rapids St. Mary’s in Baltic on Tuesday, January 7th starting at 4:00 PM.
