"We went into the game knowing they are a good squad with good length across the board, so we knew we had to come out to play and I thought it was the best defense we've played in a long time, espe- cially in the first half," Von Eye admitted. He went on to note that the Broncs are a hard team to defend due to their use of well-executed pick and rolls, and the fact that they have a couple of excellent outside shooters. He feels the Dogies executed their defense well and forced their opponent into some tough shots, and then rebounded well. Their efforts resulted in a Newcastle lead for most of the first half and the squad headed into the locker room with only a three point deficit to overcome in the second half. However, like in their previous contest, the Dogies struggled early on in the third quarter, missing some shots that allowed Cody to build a 14 point lead. Though Newcastle fought back in the fourth to close the lead, the Broncs' offensive arsenal was too tough to stop and the squad dropped their second contest of the season 48-62. "I liked the way that we battled and persevered. We played hard the whole game, and I thought we played much better offensively than we had against Powell. We just were not shooting as well as we should have been," Von Eye stated. Once again the Dogies were led in scoring by Allen with 12, followed by Cooper Karp with 10 and Quigley with nine. Tied at one and one for the tournament, coaches and players were excited going into their second game of the day and final game of the tour- nament against Jackson, and they started off pretty strong. However, about mid-way through the first quarter things began to change. "Our defense just started to go downhill, and we were standing and allowing back cuts. Jackson shoots well and our rebounding was ter- rible, which gave them second chances, and you just can't do that against a team who shoots well. There were some funda- mental lapses in that game," Von Eye sighed. In the second half, the Dogies made a run and closed the gap, but once again were not able to overcome the Broncs' lead. As a result, they closed out the weekend with 46-64 loss and a 1-2 record to start their season. "You're going to come up against better basketball teams, but as long as the effort is there you give yourself a chance. Unfortunately, it just wasn't where it needed to be in that game when we worked our tails off in the other two games," Von Eye frowned. Leading the way for scoring was Dawson Norton with 14 points, followed by Allen and Quigley with 10 points each. Despite the disappointing ending after a very promising start, Von Eye noted that he saw some definite positives from his team. "There were some really good things, but we just have to make sure we are growing and improving. I was very pleased with our scoring dis- tribution. We have our go-to guys for scoring, but basketball is a team sport and our other guys did pretty well playing their role. It was great to see, and it's nice to know that we have guys who will step up and score when other teams try to take out our big scorers," Von Eye observed. Scorers and role players worked together well over the weekend, resulting in good transition plays. The squad also had three players with over three assists in each game, which Von Eye stated is a huge plus for a team. He did note, however, that his team needs to improve their rebounding given they are not overly large. The squad has a chance to work out some more kinks this weekend as they have another tournament on tap. The Stateline Shootout tips off on Thursday when the Dogies travel to Sundance to take on the Bulldogs. "Sundance should be an opportunity for us to get some confidence going as we head into the Christmas break. Hopefully we will be shooting like we should and we'll get a chance to work against a zone, which is our Achilles heel," Von Eye anticipated. Contests in the Dogie Dome against Belle Fourche and Lead on Friday and Saturday will round out the tournament. Von Eye is unsure what to expect from Belle as the squad has a totally new coach, but he anticipates seeing his team in a battle against a talented Lead squad. "I like the two tourneys in a row to start things off before Christmas. You get some good conditioning and get to see a lot of different schemes in those six games. It's a great way to see where we stand against those teams, and allows us to work on some things before we enter into confer- ence play," Von Eye reasoned. East West Challenge in Cody Newcastle v.
