WILSON — The Wilson Dragons forced a running clock in the final seconds of the 76-46 victory over Rock Hills Friday in Wilson.
Coached by first-season head coach Trenton Ptacek and assisted by former Fort Hays State University standout Jake Stoppel, the Dragons have a lot of depth, height, and raw athletic talent this season. Ptacek and Stoppel are also former Dragons and teammates.
Wilson scored the first bucket and Kory Kriley added a shot as Wilson jumped to a 4-0 lead with 6:23 left in the first period. The Grizzlies got on the scoreboard with a field goal at the 6:07 mark. Brady Mermis’ back-to-back buckets made the score 8-2 and Wilson added a shot for a 10-2 lead before the Grizzlies sank a trey at the 4:38 mark for a 10-5 tally.
