Westhope/Newburg waltzed into their game on Thursday with 11 straight wins... but they left with 12. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 66-64 victory over the Garrison Troopers. Given the Sioux's advantage in MaxPreps' North Dakota basketball rankings (they are ranked ninth, while the Troopers are ranked 40th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Westhope/Newburg's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Dayton Hawkins, who went 6-for-10 en route to 17 points and three steals. Hawkins is also on a roll when it comes to three-point shooting accuracy, as he's posted one of at least 40% in the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Braden Bailey, who went 8-for-15 on his way to 22 points.
Westhope/Newburg pushed their record up to 17-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 81.8 points over those games. As for Garrison, their loss dropped their record down to 13-7.
