Defense, Depth Carry Huskies Again
With a strong defensive effort and depth necessitated by a variety of injuries and health issues affecting their lineup, the Owatonna High School boys basketball team gutted out another win Friday night. The Huskies (6-1) topped Red Wing 61-55 for their fifth straight win.
Brayden Williams led OHS with 22 points. Blake Burmeister scored 15. Regular starters Payton Beyer, Nolan Burmeister and Evan Dushek all came in off the bench. Huskies coach Josh Williams credited the Wingers defense for limiting the number of possessions in the game.
Williams spoke on the AM 1390 KRFO Coaches Show Saturday morning about the team being tested with our depth.different guys starting different games.super proud of how the team has adapted.

Jeff Ochs talks with his CM team last season during his tenure as interim girls basketball coach at Civic Memorial. Ochs, the AD at Trimpe Middle School, is now in his first season as head coach of the EA-WR girls basketball team. Even though he’s been busy handling both positions, he’s hoping the Region 4 mitigation level drops to Phase 4 so that all “his” teams can begin playing.Greg Shashack file | The TelegraphShow MoreShow Less

Alton students fill the Redbird Nest section of bleachers at a AHS boys basketball game last year at Alton High in Godfrey. If Region 4 moves to Phase 4 mitigation by the weekend, Alton will host Collinsville in three games Saturday, but with only 50 people spectators in the gym. Currently, the region is in Tier 2.Telegraph file photo
GODFREY Chris Kusnerick is one to take things in their proper order. The Alton High School athletic director usually doesn’t put the cart before the horse. But this week is different for him, as well as for ADs throughout Illinois Department of Pubic Health’s Region 4, including the entire Southwestern Conference.
Moore finishes his two-plus seasons at Lighthouse with a 20-38 record and a 2-2 showing in the playoffs. After investigating, the IHSAA placed the boys basketball program on probation.
