This past weekend, the SKC men’s and women’s basketball teams hosted Chief Dull Knife College at the Joe McDonald gym in Pablo. With their regular seasons over halfway through, both teams have winning records.

On Friday night, the men defeated CDKC by a score of 106-103. Aquino Brison led the Bison with 24 points, followed by Zach Mills with 22. Brison had four three’s and was 6 out of 10 from the charity stripe. As a team, SKC hit 12 three’s and went 18 for 33 from the free throw line.

On Saturday, the two played again. This time, the game wasn’t nearly as close. The Bison led 64-45 at half, then exploded in the second half for 80 points to make the final score 144-99. Leading the team for the second night in a row was Aquino Brison, who had 29 points. He was matched by Sherman RTH, who also had 29 points for the team. Once again, the team hit 12 three’s on the night, including four by Brison. They also shot well from the line, where they went 13 for 17.

On the women’s side, SKC throttled Chief Dull Knife College by a score of 98-14. Leading the scoring in that game was Arlee’s Violet Pablo, who put up 18, including four three’s in the first half. A point behind her was Kendra Johnson, who had 17.
