The Waterville-Elysian-Morristown Buccaneers were 12 of 28 from the free throw line Thursday night but still came away with a 68-45 win at Triton.

The Bucs put on a defensive clinic and out-muscled the Cobras, with nearly half their points coming in the paint.

It was evident Waterville-Elysian-Morristown knew about Triton senior guard Isaiah Wannarka's ability to attack the basket.

Whenever Wannarka put the ball on the floor the Bucs made sure they had people around him.

After scoring 29 earlier this week in a win over Kasson-Mantorville, Wannarka was held to three points, had just seven shots in the game and fouled out with 5:37 to go.

Waterville-Elysian-Morristown was led by Zac Olson with 19 points, Kallan Dorenkiemper added 17 and Logan Sendle 10.

Triton's leading scorer was Garrett Dahms with 14, Jax Bryngelson had 12 and freshman Austin Gillund had 10

With the win, the Buccaneers are now 13-3 and go to Blooming Prairie on Friday night.

Triton is 8-10 and doesnt play again until Tuesday at Zumbrota-Mazeppa.
