“We ended our season tonight against a tough West Central team that is playing with supreme confidence and purpose,” said Brandon-Evansville Head Coach Zach Traphagen. “Unfortunately, we never really gave ourselves a fighting chance in this game due to our inability to take care of the ball. A lot of that is credit to West Central, but we know that we need to improve immensely in that part of the game as a team and program moving forward.”

Bailey Schaefer led the Chargers with 21 points and 4 rebounds.  Mikenna Pattrin added 5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 assists.

“Losing is tough, but seeing the final seconds tick off the clock and the tears on the faces of the seniors is what really makes this hard,” added Coach Traphagen. Bailey, Mikenna and Korrie Randt did so much for this team the last two years. We are extremely proud of those girls and will certainly miss them next year.” 

Brandon-Evansville ends their season with a record of 9-10.

West Central Area (14-5) will travel to Parkers Prairie for a quarterfinal matchup on Friday night.
