Has been a little while since last week when I watched Necedah defeat Dodgeland and Dubuque Senior beat Sussex Hamilton. I've decided to just do a quick write up of each game.
Necedah 69 Dodgeland 42
Coming into this game I really didn't know anything about either team. it warm ups it was fairly obvious that this wasn't my typical game I attend and would be a bit lower level. Early on Dodgeland kept the game close but, as the game wore on it became more and more evident that Necedah was the far superior team. Necedah pressed the entire game and Dodgeland struggled to break the press a game long. Necedah really broke the game open when they out scored Dodgeland 22 to 4 in the third quarter. As the press wore Dodgeland down their defense got worse and worse and the gave up open three after open three.
Top Players
Jordan Murphy 5'10 junior Necedah- Struggled a bit early but, in the second half really got his shot going and was knocking down the threes. Did a nice job driving to the hoop as well when the shot was falling early.
Tripp Horbinski 5'7 senior Necedah- Didn't do a ton of scoring but, really did a nice job of pressuring the Dodgeland ball handlers and running the offense. Always seems to make the right decision in transition and finding the right team mate.
Colton Neis 5'11 junior Dodgeland- Was one of the few bright spots for Dodgeland as he was able to hit multiple mid range jumpers.

Dubuque Senior 55 Sussex Hamilton 43
This game was really the story of the length of Dubuque just being too much for Hamilton to match. Dubuque started 6'3, 6'5, 6'7, 6'9, and 6'9 and Hamilton had two guys at 6'4 and one at 6'5. Hamilton had the top player in 6'4 senior Brady Ellingson but, he just had no help and just couldn't get his shot going at all. Ellingson took a ton of shots in this game and nothing was falling. As Ellingson continued to struggle he continued to force more and more shots. Shots that were in NBA range, threes with a hand in his face, and runners when he was double teamed. Ellingson's team mates seemed reluctant to take shots as I stated earlier and passed up open shots looking for Ellingson. For Senior they really showed off the defense and really focused on Ellingson, forcing him to get the ball five feet behind the three point line and having to make things happen from way outside. On the offensive end 6'7 senior Kyle Haber didn't do much early but, in the second half Haber got his mid range game going and was able to hit runners in the lane and late when Hamilton was fouling, Haber hit his free throws. Most of the game Senior went inside to their 6'9 big men senior Seth Bonifas and junior Luke McDonnell. They were able to score with ease or get fouled throughout. Hamilton made it interesting late with three pointers but, Dubuque hit their free throws and hung on for the win.
Top Players
Brady Ellingson 6'4 senior Hamilton- Looked real smooth but, just couldn't get his shot to fall. Showed some good ball handling skills.
Kyle Haber 6'7 senior Dubuque- Did a great job running the point. Showed a very nice mid range game from 15 feet and in and hit the big free throws late in the game.
Luke McDonnell 6'9 junior Dubuque- Showed a real nice touch around the rim and also did a great job of rebounding as well.
