Minden came tearing into Thursday's matchup with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 29.8 points), and they left with even more momentum. They took down the Holdrege Dusters 53-39. Given the Whippets' advantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 13th in Nebraska, while the Dusters are ranked 77th in Nebraska), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Minden to victory, but perhaps none more so than Mattie Kamery, who went 7-for-12 to rack up 17 points and four steals.
