Two double-figure shooters made a big difference in the outcome of last Thursday’s Pleasanton vs South Loup basketball game at Callaway.
Caleb Pritchard’s premiere night on the court led to 25 points, eight rebounds and eight steals as the Pleasanton Bulldogs sailed past host South Loup 61-47.
Pleasanton started with a 12-9 lead in the first quarter with Pritchard accounting for half of those points on field goals. Field goals by Kaden Zwiener and Colin Janitscheck, plus a pair of free throws by Austin Paitz made up the rest of the Bulldogs’ points.
With good support from his teammates, Pritchard took care of the Bulldog scoring in the second period with six field goals and one trey as Pleasanton led 27-18 at halftime.

Another win went into the books for the Litchfield-Ansley Trojans last Friday night as the Trojans took a 54-46 win from the Arcadia Huskies at Arcadia.
Litchfield gained point advantages in three of the four quarters starting with an 11-8 margin in the first period. Brody Focken and Mike Heapy started with four points and Nolan Kratzer nailed his first of five treys in the game as the Trojans forged in front.
Kratzer’s hot hand sank three more treys in the second period. Sam Reynolds hit a field goal and added two free shots to his credit. Heapy was good for another field goal and a free shot and Taylor Monks connected for a field goal as the Trojans held a 29-23 lead at halftime.
