“Tonight was all about the seniors,” said B-E Head Coach Trent Hintermeister. “Eli Anderson and Abe Huisman have been great leaders for us and we are lucky to have them on our team. 

Moving forward we have to continue to improve on the little things. I know it will be nice for our guys to have a couple days off. We actually get to have a practice on Monday which will be the first in 12 days.”

 

Brandon-Evansville (13-12) will close out their regular season schedule in Bertha against the Bertha-Hewitt Bears on Tuesday night.
