Within the last two games, the Dragon’s opponents scored 28 3-pointers, but they were still able to win both games.
Head Coach Steven Eck talked about the long shots.
“Their stats didn’t show they shoot well from the three, so we just stopped their lay-ups and free throws at the beginning,” Coach Eck said.
“We changed up our game to stop them from shooting more threes.”
The Dragons played On-Point Prep Nov. 14 and won 89-61.
Prep made seven of their first 10 threes.
On the seventh three, Prep had their biggest lead of the game, which was nine points.

During the off-season, the shot clock was changed from 35 seconds to 30 seconds to help speed up the game offensively.

On Nov. 13, Hutch took on Lamar and won 102-88.
Samajae Haynes-Jones, Wichita, scored 17 points and Ahmed added 25 points.
