The Batesville Freshman picked up a win in EIAC play Tuesday night with a win over South Dearborn 44-26.
Zach Britton paced a balanced the Batesville attack with 10 points. Gunner Olsen added 9, while Peyton Meyer, Alex Roell, and Zach Prickel each added 7. Mitch Esser tailed 3, and John Harmeyer scored a free throw to round out the Bulldog scoring.
“Tonight was the complete team effort I knew we had in us, but hadn’t pieced together yet. Our bench gave us a huge lift tonight on both ends of the floor. After dropping our last two I couldn’t be happier with the way these guys responded tonight.” Batesville Coach Ben Siefert.
After taking a 3 point advantage with them to halftime, Batesville pushed the lead to 10 at 33-23 to end the 3rd. The Dogs outscored the Knights 11-3 in the 4th allowing just 1 field goal, to close the door on a South Dearborn comeback.
“We challenged the guys at halftime to build a lead, and not let them back into the game. They played up to the challenge.” Batesville Coach Ben Siefert.
Batesville will be back in action Thursday night as they travel to Milan to open up the 9th grade portion of the Ripley County Tournament. Game time is 6:00.
