Fast Start leads Sioux Falls Washington over Brookings – Brookings Register

Brookings-strong start for Sioux Falls Washington on Tuesday night led to Warriors beat Bruckings 50-31 at Bob Jostad High School.

Warriors (11-1) led 12-0 just over six minutes in the game, and Bobcats (8-5) never recovered. Bruckings chief coach Mitch McLapan said it was a matter of brands and gaps in the first quarter.

“I think we leave their length really bother us. Again, they are a really good basketball team. I thought we had some really good early looks, but we just couldn’t get the shots to fall. The first few minutes continued with 9-0 mileage and we had a good appearance, but the shots did not fall. And then they defeated us in the transition several times, “McLapan said.

Bobcats lagged 14-3 at the end of the first quarter. Then Broquings opened the second quarter with 6-0. Bobcats reduced the lead to 19-15 in the Midway Point of the Quarter, but then exceeded 13-2 in the last four minutes and left 32-17 at the half.

Bruckings came down 34-20 with just under six minutes in the third and uses 8-2 run to reduce the lead to 36-28. The back half of the third quarter was similar to the second, as the Bobcats had surpassed by 8-0 and passed 44-28 aimed at the fourth.

“I was pleased with the way our children responded to this difficult start,” McLapan said. “We somehow hit our mouth early and struggled back. We continued on a nice little running and then at the end of the second quarter they opened what leads a little. Our end of the neighborhoods was not very good tonight. At the end of the neighborhoods, we had some bad speeds and they turned them into points. “

Bobcats had exceeded 7-6 in the last quarter.
Bruckings fired 28.2% of the terrain and was 6 in 17 out of three. Bobcats had 23 rpm, and McLapan said fatigue played a factor when Bruckings were fighting for insult.

“Some of [the offensive struggles come from] Fatigue and some of them are mental fatigue in my opinion. We forget our plan. There were several times when we did not go into our vacation in the press and got tired and made a difficult pass instead of the easy pass and the speed were added to these situations, “McLapan said.

The beans were led by Logan Smid, who had nine points. Sloan McLapan had five points, and Tess Burns had four. Macy even had three points and six struggles.

Sioux Falls Washington fired 37.3% of the terrain and was 2 out of 16 in three. Dana Harpe led the warriors with 16 points and eight rebounds. Grace Peterson had 11 points, and Rilan Kenneth had nine points and six rebounds.

The warriors had 40 rebounds and Bobcats had 23. Bruckings was 6-on-8 on the free throws, and Siu Falls Washington was 11th.

Bobcats won four right matches on Tuesday night. It happened after they lost four in a row after the 4-0 season began. Makalan said he felt that his team was heading in the right direction, as the last month of the regular season begins.

“Overall, I was pleased with the way we competed tonight,” McLapan said. “This is a team we want to compete with with the arrival of March. … We started season 4-0 and then we lost four on Row and played two really good teams in [that stretch] And we didn’t compete very well.

“We have played a really good basketball in the last two weeks and tonight I decided we were really close. [Washington] is a team competing to win a state title and I thought if a few possessions here -they went on their way there [the result could have been different]S That was our goal. Make it a game in the fourth quarter and see if we can do anything. It wasn’t in the cards tonight, but I thought we were taking a step in the right direction. “

Bruckings host Siu Falls Lincoln on Thursday. The opening between Bobcats and Patriots is planned for 19:00
