The Fredonia Yellow Jackets were able to snap a brief two-game losing streak, putting together a strong performance on both ends of the floor in a 79-19 win over the Bluestem Lions.

 

A combination of pressure defense that forced Bluestem turnovers, as well as well-designed inbounds plays that led to easy baskets in the paint, the Yellow Jackets were clicking on the offensive end. The team put up 55 points in the first half, and led the game by 46 points as both teams entered the locker room.

 

Kamden Barnett, who entered the evening fifth in the state in scoring, finished with 23 points. Max Coulter and Josiah Alexander each finished with 14 points as well for the Yellow Jackets. Dax MacDermant led the Lions with 10 points scored in the loss.

 

Fredonia improves to 10-7 on the season with the victory, while Bluestem falls to 0-14. The Yellow Jackets host Caney Valley tomorrow night, while Bluestem will host Eureka on Friday. Classic Hits 104.1 will have the Cherryvale Chargers hosting Hartford tomorrow evening.
