The Wildcats shot 19-47 for 40% and 2-16 from 3-point land. They were 7-12 from the line.  The Knights had a tough shooting night making only 13-42 shots for 31%. The Knights made 5-15 threes and 12-17 free throws.  The rebounds were even at 32-32.

Knights Coach Kraig Hunter said, "Both teams played good defense. We forced a lot of turnovers and took away their 3-point game holding them to 2-16. I was proud of our defense and how hard our kids worked.  Unfortunately we weren't efficient enough on offense. We didn't finish well and we didn't value the basketball enough as we had too many turnovers.  In Class AA basketball, there are a lot of good teams. New London-Spicer is loaded with athletes as they won the state football championship and were the preseason section favorite.  It was a great high school basketball game with both teams leaving everything on the floor. Congratulations to them."

"It was a great season for our guys  being nearly the smallest AA school in the state. We finished 18-8 overall and finished conference runner-up in the tough West Central Conference. Some of our seniors have been playing varsity since 9th grade and finished the last four years 82-21. They have a lot to be proud of."
