Hunter led all scorers with 23 points. He finished with six rebounds, four assists and a steal.

A frantic close to the third quarter had Ste. Genevieve taking a four point lead into the final frame…

Farmington had a hard time connecting on their shots in the fourth quarter, but Logan Schaupert had his hand in seven takeaways to help the Knights keep pace…

However, Ste. Gen’s defensive tenacity in the fourth quarter was just as polished…

The Dragons typically play man-to-man defense, but they switched to a 3-2 zone for most of the fourth quarter that gave Farmington some fits. Coach Rob Coleman talks about the adjustment…
