"This was probably our most complete game of the season,” said Battle Lake Head Coach Brady Cameron.  “We defended at a high level without fouling and took Parkers Prairie out of their stuff all night, forcing them into 20 turnovers and scoring 26 points off those TO's.  Mason Dalluge, Bradyn Roisum and Jacob Radermacher also held their 2 big guys in check down low allowing only 5 points to the 2 of them.  Offensively, we played a great game, guys were cutting and screening hard and as we have all year we shared the ball really well again assisting on over half of our made shots.  Obviously, Jack Mekalson (35 points, 3 rebounds, 4 seals) had a great night but his teammates did a great job of doing what they needed to do in the offense to get themselves open which led to him getting open as well.  We have 2 or 3 guys every night that have 4+ assists and tonight it was Owen Buehler (9 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals) and Mason (4 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals) who were able to find guys at the right time having 5 assists each."

Drew Johnson (11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals) was also in double digits for the Battlers.

Battle Lake travels to Moorhead to play Park Christian School on Tuesday, while Parkers Prairie (3-4) has a home game against Rothsay.
