The Battlers are led by Grant Luikens and a core of athletes who went to the dome in Class 9B and looking to be in Aberdeen for the Class B basketball tournament. Hall says they love having their leading scorer on the floor, but the team is full of guys that can score…
Hall says they need to be consistent tonight…
Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00 tonight at the Redfield Jr-Sr. High School with the winner advance to the Class B state tournament beginning next week Thursday.
