Genoa- The Dragons (3-0) got off to a hot start offensively, with 19 points in the opening quarter, and the defense took it over from there as they held the Lions to just 24 points. Genoa had their best scoring quarter in the 3rd, as they poured in 26 points to put the game out of reach. "Our defense was great", Coach Drew Hamilton mentioned when he talked about the effort his team showed on Thursday night. 

Brayden Cobb torched the nets for 17 points, including four 3-pointers on Thursday, Cobb also added 3 assists and 4 steals, as he played great on both ends of the floor. Braxton Robertson added 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals. Brody Helms had 9 points, 3 assists, 2 boards, and 3 steals. Peyton Hicks had a big night defensively for Genoa Central, as he had a team-high 6 blocks and also 3 steals. Hicks also added 6 points and 5 rebounds. Jaxon Muhl had 7 points, Nathaniel Thomas added 5 points, and Michael Harper added 2 points. 

There were a lot of steals and blocks for the Dragons defense, as Genoa did a great job of turning defense into offense Thursday night. Genoa Central is back in action on Friday night as they head to Queen City for a game with the Bulldogs.
