Hutchinson shot 52.5 percent in the first half and used a 24-8 run midway through the first half to open a 50-23 lead. The Blue Dragons finished the game at 53.3 percent to shoot 50 percent or better for the fifth time in the last six games and in 11 games this season.

Freshman center Fred Odhiambo blocked a career-high nine blocked shots to lead a 15-block performance from the Dragons. Those nine rejections are the third most in Blue Dragon single-game history. Odhiambo had eight blocks against Dodge City in the first meeting on January 23. The 15 team blocks tied the 2003 Blue Dragons for the second most blocks in a single game. The 2003 Dragons blocked 15 shots against Allen County in the Jayhawk Shooting on December 8, 2003.

Hutchinson improves to 21-6 overall and 12-6 in the Jayhawk West. Hutch completes the season sweep of Dodge City, which dropped its 10th game in a row and fell to 7-20 overall and 2-16 in the Jayhawk West.

Sophomore James Rojas had his second-straight 20-point game with 24 points on 9 of 12 shooting with a 3-pointer. Rojas had six rebounds and three assists.

D.J. Mitchel had 18 points, hitting 3 of 9 from long range. Saquan Singleton had 11 points on 5 of 6 shooting with eight rebounds. Malique Jacobs Chris Giles and Rheaquone Taylor had eight points each.

Every Blue Dragon to play scored, had at least two rebounds and one assists in the game.

The Blue Dragons hit 40 of 75 total shots, nailing 5 of 17 from 3-point range. Hutch was just 9 of 20 from the free-throw line. The Dragons out-rebounded Dodge City 60-42 and had 22 assists and 11 steals in the game.

The Blue Dragons held down the Dodge City’s Jyrus Freels, Jayhawk Conference’s leading scorer. Freels was six points under his 19-point scoring average with 13 points on 5 of 14 shooting. Justice Dixon led the Conquistadors with 10 points.

Dodge City was 21 of 77 shooting (27.3 percent), going 3 of 21 from 3-point range and 8 of 16 from the free-throw line. The Conqs had 16 turnovers.

The 53 points allowed were the fewest Dodge City has scored against Hutchinson since 2003 then the Conqs scored 52.

Freels scored with 12:20 to play in the first half to cut the Dragon lead to 12-11. Hutch answered with back-to-back Giles baskets and a Mitchell 3-pointer to go up 19-11 with 11:19 to go. That was the start of the key 24-8 run that was capped at the 6:09 mark of the first half when Rojas stuck a 3-pointer to give Hutch a 33-16 lead. Ultimately, Hutch outscored Dodge City 38-12 over the final 12:20 of the first half, hitting 5 of 11 from 3-point range.

Hutch pushed the lead to 30 for the first time at 59-29 after a Rojas layup. Odhiambo’s tip-in with 9:41 to play increased the lead to 41 points. Hutch’s largest lead was 47 points after a Singleton jumper with 4:25 to go.

Coach Eck talked about the attitude change in Wednesday’s game:

 

The Blue Dragons will travel to Colby for a 5 p.m. game on Saturday in Colby.

But the No. 10-ranked Blue Dragons found enough offense, combined with a stellar defensive effort, to earn a 59-31 victory over the Conquistadors for their fourth-straight victory.

The 26-1 Blue Dragons remained in a first-place tie with Seward County at 17-1 in the Jayhawk West. With three games remaining, the Dragons will close out at Colby, at home with Barton and at Seward County. Dodge City dropped its fourth in a row and is 13-14 overall and 8-10 in league play.

The victory moved Blue Dragon head coach John Ontjes into sole possession of fifth place on both the Jayhawk Conference and Region VI all-time coaching wins list. He broke a tie with Darin Spence with his 340th victory.

Hutchinson scored the first seven points of the game and held Dodge City scoreless for 4 1/2 minutes to start the game. The Conquistadors got as close as four points, but the Blue Dragons closed the first quarter on an 8-2 run to lead 16-6 after one quarter.

Hutchinson’s lead never dipped into single digits again.

The Dragons never felt comfortable hitting only 7 of 27 shots in the middle two quarters and committing 19 turnovers for the game. The Dragons cast only 19 shot attempts in the first half, making nine.

While the offense misfired, the defense was its usually staunch self. Hutch held Dodge City to a season-low 31 points, allowing a conference-season low 11 points in the first half. The Conquistadors were 5 of 22 shooting in the opening half, but the Blue Dragons led only 25-11 at intermission. For the game, the Blue Dragons held Dodge to single digit scoring in the first three quarters, allowing only 18 points through three periods.

The 31 points allowed were the second-fewest Dodge City has scored against Hutchinson in series history.

Dodge City committed 23 turnovers and shot only 23.5 percent for the game (10 of 43). Dodge was just 1 of 14 from 3-point range and 10 of 14 from the free-throw line.

Sophomore Jada Mickens led the Blue Dragons with 15 points, hitting a pair of 3-pointers, and seven rebounds.

Sophomore Dejanae Roebuck had 12 points and six rebounds with a career high six steals.

Freshman Makayla Vannett hit 3 of 6 from 3-point range to score nine points with four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Freshman Abby Ogle had eight points and five assists.

The Blue Dragons were 17 of 41 shooting (41.5 percent) in their second-lowest offensive output of the season. Hutch was 7 of 16 from 3-point range and 18 of 22 from the free-throw line. The Dragons outrebounded Dodge City, 34-24.

Hutchinson travels to Colby for a 3 p.m. game on Saturday.

GAME NOTES – The Blue Dragons are now 68-27 all-time vs. Dodge City, including 33-13 at the Sports Arena. This was the third-straight game to hold Dodge City to less than 40 points. Dejanae Roebuck moved up two spots to No. 13 on the Blue Dragon career scoring list with 878 points and up to sixth place on the career rebounds list with 520. Jada Mickens moved up to No. 15 on the career rebounds list with 451. This was the 13th time this season Hutch has held an opponent to less than 30 percent shooting and the seventh time it has held an opponent to less than 40 points.
