The Dell Rapids Quarrier boys exploded for 92 points in a 92-59 win over the Elk Point-Jefferson Huskies on Saturday, January 24th, in Dell Rapids.
“Going into the EPJ game, our main focus was to improve our offensive movement and efficiency. Our players really bought into that focus, and we had great ball movement from the opening tip. We shot the ball much better, and I really think it was because of the better ball movement. We have very capable shooters from the perimeter and when the ball gets moved to a shooter that has a chance to have his feet set and get a good gauge on the rim, perimeter shots are easier to make,” said head coach Jason Fersdahl.
The Quarriers shot 54% (32-59) from the field, 44% (11-25) from three-point area, and 94% (17-18) from the free-throw line in the game. Dell Rapids also had 40 team rebounds, 21 assists, 11 steals, and only turned the ball over eight times.
Ty Hoglund finished with 31 points, five rebounds, and two assists in the game. Riley Schimdt had 22 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals. Sheldon Siemonsma added 11 points and three rebounds. Sam White tossed in 10 points and pulled down 13 rebounds. Zane Schumaker finished with nine points, nine assists, and four steals.
Dell Rapids improves to 10-0 on the year, and 6-0 in the Dak-12 Conference. The Quarriers will host Vermillion on Thursday, January 29th. The game will be webcast on Big Sioux Media.
