Breckenridge defeated Pelican Rapids by a score of 75-64 on Tuesday night. The halftime score was 37-26. Leading scorers for the Cowboys were Anthony Conzemius with 25, Cooper Yaggie with 17, and Jonah Christensen with 11. Leading in rebounds were Conzemius with 14 and Christensen with 8. Jr Perez added 3 assists.

"We were able to get to an early lead against a very good Pelican team,” commented Breckenridge Assistant Coach Derek Grahn. “They battled back in the second half but we showed a lot of mental toughness to come out with the win. We travel to DGF to take on the Rebels on Friday."

Logan Fahje and Jayden Rutherford led the Vikings with 22 and 19 points, respectively.

We struggled the last eight minutes of the first half on both ends of the court which allowed the Cowboys to open up the eleven point halftime lead,” said Pelican Rapids Head Coach John Gullingsrud. “We cut the lead to one midway through the second half but weren’t able to get over the hump and finish down the stretch. This was a tough early season game for our guys on the road which was a good learning experience for us. It showed us areas where we need to improve and that will be the focus moving forward.”

Breckenridge (2-0) will play DGF in a Heart O’ Lakes Conference road contest on Friday, while Pelican Rapids (0-1) hosts Frazee on Friday night.
