The Waukon boys basketball team took its strong inside game to Dyersville Thursday, February 18 to match up in the Class 2A District 7 semifinals with the strong guard play of a Beckman squad listed in the top 10 of the Class 2A power rankings. The host Trailblazers are the most effective squad in Class 2A at shooting the three-point shot, 40.8%, and ended up proving that effectiveness, but not until the second half when Beckman pulled away to an 88-61 final scoreboard margin that brought the Indians’ 2015-2016 campaign to a close.
The loss completes the Indians’ season at a 12-10 overall record that includes a Northeast Iowa Conference mark of 7-5 that placed the Tribe third in the final Northeast Iowa Conference standings. Beckman advanced on to a Tuesday, February 23 district semifinals match-up with MFL/MarMac played at Manchester.
