Dogs eager to continue to work on post season form at Conseco!



The Bulldogs battle North Central tonight who is currently ranked #2 in the state. It has been two years since the Bulldogs have knocked off a top ten team. To have the opportunity to do it in the mecca of basketball in Indiana is something the Bulldogs are excited about. Regardless, the test prepares the Dogs for the sectional match-up next Tuesday against Manual. To win the sectional the Dogs must revenge a defeat to possibly three teams: Manual, Pike, and the winners of Avon, Ben Davis, Tech, and Decatur Central. Although the underdog in the sectional Brownsburg knows that they are playing their best basketball of the season. In addition, they believe anything can happen in just 32 minutes!

Torrey Nibbs lead the team in rebounding with seven boards to go along with 18 points and a steal.
