The North Central Knights scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Tuesday. They enjoyed a cozy 80-61 win over Colome. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.
North Central's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Zak Swanson led the charge by scoring 19 points along with eight rebounds and five assists. Swanson has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last nine times he's played. Kol Otten was another key contributor, scoring 19 points along with seven assists and five rebounds.
North Central is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 8-9 record this season. As for Colome, they still haven't won a game yet this season and fell to 0-14.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. North Central will take on Valentine at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hopefully North Central focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 24 on Tuesday. As for Colome, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Sunshine Bible Academy at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Colome is on an eight-game streak of home losses (dating back to last season), Sunshine Bible Academy a five-game streak of away losses, but someone's luck is about to change.
