"We are really proud of our guys. No one cares who scores the points, they are an unselfish bunch," stated Head Coach Kraig Hunter. "The passing is contagious and they once again played a stifling, scrappy defensive game.  We executed well on offense, we followed our scouting report well on defense, and won the rebounding battle against a bigger team. I think our depth was a big factor as well as we wore them down.  We are young, but Ryder Staples is our senior leader on the court and they all follow his lead."

Staples led the Knights again with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocked shots, and took a charge.  Jacob Strunk was big again with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 5 steals, and 4 assists.  Cole Anderson added 9 points, Bryce Kjesbo 7, Cam Anderson 4 points, a team high 8 assists, and 4 steals; Nas Dotts had 2 points, 5 rebounds,  a team high 6 steals, and 4 assists.  Hunter added, "Cam and Nas are two pretty good leaders at our guard spots, they're the ones that get us going with their passing abilities."

Isaac Kreft added 3 points and 3 rebounds, Peyton Hanson added 3 points, and Mitch Dewey had 2 points, 3 rebounds, and an assist.  Damon Sanstead added 2 rebounds.

The Knights hit 25-54 shots for 46% and 4-7 free throws.  The Lakers hit 16-47 shots for 34% and made 1-4 free throws.  The Knights held a 33-30 rebounding edge and their defense forced Minnewaska into 20 turnovers. The Knights took good care of the ball and only turned in over 8 times all night.

Hunter Kostlecky led the Lakers in scoring with 13 points, DJ Johnson had 9 points, Ethan Qulle 7, Jack Larson 7, Tate Reichman 2, and Noah Danielson 1.

The Knights (4-0) will host Ortonville on Thursday night in a Pheasant Conference matchup.
