Battle Lake cut the Cowboys lead to 5 midway through the second half behind Braxtyn Cameron’s 20 points, but Breckenridge responded with big plays down the stretch from Aidan Sanchez, Beau Beyer and Jacob Kunkel.

Sanchez (19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals), Kunkel (13 points, 7 rebounds), Beyer (13 points), Kaleb Albertson (8 points, 3 rebounds), Logan Church (4 points, 4 steals), Cooper Roberts (3 points, 4 rebounds) and CJ Bernard (4 assists) were the statistical leaders for the Cowboys.

Braxtyn Cameron led Battle Lake with 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots.  Max Mekalson added 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and a pair of blocks and Aidan Heggem secured a team high 11 rebounds while adding 3 steals, 2 blocks and 4 points.  Quinn Condiff chipped in with 8 points and 3 boards.

"I am proud of the effort our guys put forth tonight, the wins will come as these young guys gain experience and they are getting a lot of it right now,” said Battle Lake Head Coach Brady Cameron.  “We struggled to score in the 1st half only putting up 15 points but we found our rhythm in the 2nd half on both ends and cut the lead to 5 late in the half.  We are shorthanded and played tonight's game without any of our seniors but we are hoping we can get Aidan Buehler back for Thursday night.  We want to thank the Breckenridge community for their kindness and for donating the proceeds from the "Split the Pot" raffle tonight to the Roisum family."

Breckenridge (1-1) has their Heart O’ Lakes Conference opener at Frazee on Friday.

Battle Lake (0-2) will host Browerville in another non-conference contest on Thursday night.
