Vs Morgan (1/17)
Dresden hosted the Morgan Raiders
on Friday at the Dawg House. The Raid-
ers were playing catchup from the tipoff
as the Scotties blew past them time af-
ter time to take a quick 22 – 4 lead as
the first quarter ended. Morgan made
a little more headway offensively in the
second quarter, but still could not come
close to keeping up with the Dawgs as
they took a huge 45 – 15 advantage at
halftime.
The Raiders tried to rally in the third
quarter but still trailed the Scotties by
five ending the third frame down 67 –
32. With the clock running the second-
string players for Tri-Valley were not able
to land any final shots but they did hold
Morgan scoreless as well in the final
minutes as the Dawgs got the “W”.
Keaton Hahn had 15 points for the
Scotties, while Nohah Nichols put in 14
points, and Max Lyall added 11 points.
