Battle Lake picked up a Little Eight Conference road win on Friday night, beating Parkers Prairie by the score of 52-42 in boys’ basketball.  Battle Lake is now 13-3 overall and 7-1 in Little Eight Conference action.

“The guys played another complete game tonight,” said Head Coach Brady Cameron of the Battlers.  “Defensively we were really good holding them to 35% shooting and turning them over 14 times.  We had a couple of defensive possessions that were over a minute long and our guys made them grind for everything they got.  Offensively, we didn't score like we did the last couple of games but that's because we had long defensive possessions and were very patient on offense waiting for great shots. I have talked about it a lot lately but we shared the ball extremely well again with 16 assists on 21 made shots.  That's one thing I really love about this team is they don't care who scores and are willing to sacrifice a good shot for a great shot.  It's hard to win conference road games and we were lucky enough to get one down in Parkers tonight.  We have 2 tough LEC tests next week in Hancock and Brandon-Evansville at home."

Battle Lake was led by Owen Buehler (14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks), Mason Dalluge (13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 1 block), Jack Mekalson (9 points, 5 assists), Bradyn Roisum (8 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block) and Drew Johnson (6 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists).

No Parkers Prairie stats were reported.
