WELLINGTON NIPS BRAYMER

The Braymer Bobcats basketball team traveled to Wellington Friday night for their regular season finale and a chance to take on the undefeated and #2 state ranked Class 2 Tigers,

  Wellington's guards, led by hot shooting point Kent Hendrix who knocked down 5 treys in the first half, gave the Tigers a 7 point lead at intermission.  Braymer's post combination of Clayton Brown, James Schreier and Brandon Taylor dominated play in the paint and kept the Bobcats close.

  The third quarter belonged to the Braymer big men and they entered the final frame with a chance to win the ballgame.  The Bobcats took the lead late in the 4th quarter and actually pushed the margin to 5 points before Wellington/Napolean came rushing back.  A 3 pointer and a steal that led to another quick basket tied the game, and when Wellington took the lead moments later and began a delay game, Braymer was forced to foul.  The Tigers hit their free throws and went on to win a 66-60 game that was much closer than the final score indicated.[Read More]

Undefeated was the manner in which the Hamilton Hornets finished their regular season last week with a 71-45 victory over the Stanberry Bulldogs on Tuesday, Feb. 23 and an 81-27 win over North Platte on Thursday, Feb. 25.

The victory over Stanberry assured the Hornets of sole possession of the Grand River Conference championship. Stanberry attached the Hornets with tenacity, but they could not halt the Hornets high speed offense and intense defensive play. Dylan Chadwick led the Hornets with 15 points which included one of the team’s three 3-pointers. Josh Pickrell followed with 13 points which included one dunk that wowed the Hamilton crowd. Trevor Dixon contributed ten points, Brandon Hemry eight, Keagan Prather six, Jordan Richman five, Eli Kipp five, TJ Schieber four, Andrew Straker three, and Cody Blakley two. Kipp and Straker made the team’s remaining 3-pointers. Prather and Richman each had three assists to lead while Schieber led with 10 rebounds. Chadwick executed four steals to lead the game.
