Wesley Wittler would hit a runner with four seconds remaining in the game and the Sully Buttes boys would knock off Lower Brule 55-54 at the Warner Classic on Saturday.
Wittler, who left Thursday’s game being dinged up, had no lingering issues on the stat sheet on Saturday. He lit up Lower Brule for a game high 27 points while Gavin Colson had 12 as the two Chargers in double figures. Elliot LaRoche had a team high 15 points for Lower Brule as the win improved the Chargers to 14-4 on the season as the Sioux fall to 11-7. It’s a big seed point win for the Chargers who will face North Central on Friday to close the season at home with the Thunder being under .500.
The girls will play in the Region 6B tournament on Tuesday and could play on Thursday with a win. The boys will close the season on Friday against the Thunder. All games this week will be on Country 95.3, pierrecountry.com and on YouTube at Country 95.3 Sports with DT Meyer on the call.
