On January 16th, 2020, the Blue Dragons played host to the Trojans of West Central. The Blue Dragons struggled all night on the offensive side of the ball, which resulted in a convincing loss to West Central 53-32.
“We played pretty well defensively all night, but we couldn’t convert anything offensively,” stated Heitkamp. “The kids did a nice job getting quality looks at the hoop, but it just wasn’t going through the net for us. A part of the problem is we are not taking the ball to the rim with authority and shooting with confidence, which is something we will be emphasizing the remainder of the season.”
Dylan Kindt led the way in the scoring column with 8 points, as Trey Buckneberg (4 steals) and Hayden Olofson added 7 and 6 points. Josef Zahn (6 rebounds) added 5 points of his own, while Cooper Long chipped in with 3 points. Triston Rekstad and Cole Skadsen rounded out the scoring with 2 and 1 points respectively.
The Blue Dragons played against Tea on Jan. 21 (results not available by press time).
The Dragons face Luverne in a double header tonight (1-23) at home! On Friday night (1-24) they travel to Vermillion and travel to face Flandreau on 1-28.
