Junior varsity boys lose to Brookings
Brandon Valley’s junior varsity boys dropped a 54-41 loss to Brookings on Jan. 26. A week prior, the Lynx defeated the Bobcats by double digits on the hardwood in Brookings.
“This game held true to the fact that you have to prove you can play every night,” said Coach Craig Nelson. “We came out with no energy and Brookings handed it to us.”
Brock Wickett led the charge with 10 points, three rebounds and five assists, while Isaac Hanson accounted for seven points and five rebounds. Sam Rall produced four points and hauled in seven rebounds.
“The positive thing we can take out of this game is that our kids will never lie down and die,” Nelson said. “They kept fighting for every possession even when faced with a large deficit late in the game. Hopefully that will carry over and help us in late game situations in the future.”
The 4-6 junior varsity boys play at Watertown on Feb. 6 and host Sioux Falls Washington on Feb. 9.
Rogier, Koehn each net 14 in win over SFL
Briana Rogier and Allison Koehn each poured in 14 points to lead Brandon Valley’s sophomore girls to a 47-39 win at Sioux Falls Lincoln on Jan. 28. Three girls – Rebecca Dykstra, Charissa Ethreim and Abby Christensen – scored four points apiece.
The Lady Lynx trailed 10-13 after the first quarter of play, but then never looked back, posting a 24-19 lead at the half and a 37-32 advantage after three quarters.
The Lady Lynx shot 38 percent from the field, 18-47, and were 8-for-19 at the charity stripe.
Dykstra and Rogier both had six rebounds. Koehn clamped on to four, while Etrheim and Brittany Lunstra had three and two, respectively.

Fischer is USF baseball recruit
University of Sioux Falls head baseball coach Matt Guiliano announced the first signees of the 2010-11 recruiting class, Derek Fischer of Brandon and Dylan Dwyer of Arvada, Colo.
Fischer joins the USF program from Brandon Valley High School and will be a catcher and right hand pitcher. Fischer, standing at 6-1, 185 pounds, led Brandon Valley with a .350 batting average while posting a 3.16 earned run average (ERA) over 68 innings, recording 79 strikeouts.
“I am very excited about Derek’s decision on attending USF,” Guiliano said. “He has the potential to step right in and be a force on the mound as a closer and handle other relief duties while competing behind the plate as well.”
The current Cougars will open their season at the Mall of America Dome in Minneapolis against Goshen College on Feb 7.
