In a game between undefeated teams in the South Central conference Wisconsin Dells took down Mauston 53-48 to gain the conference lead at a record of 4-0. I was very disappointed when I arrived at the game and I was notified that they were all out of programs for the game so I was unable to keep scoring stats which caused me to not pay as close attention to the game as I normally do.
The two things that won the game for the Dells was their rebounding and three point shooting. The Chiefs block out extremely well which cause Mauston to be one and done the majority of their offensive possessions. When Wisconsin Dells was on offense they were able to get second, third, and even fourth attempts at the baskets. When the Dells got open three point shots they were able to knock down the shots on a consistent bases. While of the other side Mauston continued to miss shots from the three point range but, this didn't stop them from trying to launch them.
For Wisconsin Dells 6'0 senior Jade Royston was the story just like he was all year long. Royston has a very smooth shot and was able to get his shot off tonight and not down some threes. Tonight was the first night that 6'9 junior Nate Gibson had his best game. He didn't do much scoring but, he was very dominate on the offensive glass.
For Mauston no one really stood out to me too much but, when I looked at the box score I saw that 6'3 junior Dustin Manthe had 16 points and I honestly didn't even notice him that much in the course of the game. 16 points is 16 points though and he must of been doing something right.
Top Players
Jade Royston 6'0 senior Wisconsin Dells- Smooth smooth shooter that can knock down a bunch of threes in a hurry and can get his shot at any time.
Nate Gibson 6'9 junior Wisconsin Dells- Very big body that clears space and rebounds very well.
Dustin Manthe 6'3 junior Mauston- Like I said I don't remember much about him but, he did score 16 points in the game.
Box Score (May be missing a few of the players that played but, didn't score due to the fact that I didn't have a program to follow on)
Wisconsin Dells- Royston 22 Jimmy Alvin 9 Gibson 9 Michael Morse 6 Bobby Blaschke 3 Kyle Stowers 2 Justin Ward 2 Jake Hall 0
Mauston- Manthe 16 Tyler Tardiff 11 Jeff Erickson 11 Brian Hall 8 Trever Reichhoff 2 Logan Dahlke 0 TJ Lueneberg 0 Brady Nelson 0
Honestly Mauston was not nearly as impressive as their 8-1 record made them appear. On the other side of things it appears that Wisconsin Dells is finally starting to play well and is living up to their preseason hype.
