ROCK FALLS – Mendota’s sophomore boys’ basketball team took an early lead and maintained it throughout in posting a 55-46 triumph over Rock Falls in non-conference action on Dec. 21 at Rock Falls. Mendota has an 8-2 overall record.
The Trojans took a 19-13 lead after the opening stanza. Dane Doyle knocked down a pair of three-pointers in the first quarter and added two more in the second as Mendota opened up a 30-20 halftime advantage. Doyle finished the first half with 14 points.
Johan Cortez provided seven of Mendota’s 17 third-quarter points in helping the Trojans build up a 47-32 cushion after three periods.
Doyle ended the contest with 20 points and eight rebounds, while Cortez chipped in with 14. Alex Beetz and Keegan Beetz provided seven and six points, respectively.
“Dane Doyle had an outstanding game offensively and his rebounding helped keep Rock Falls off the glass,” said Mendota coach Evan Carroll. “Johan Cortez facilitated the offense with Alex Beetz in foul trouble and we had guys (Jonas Fitzgerald, Grady Jones, Brody Hartt) provide great minutes off the bench.”
