St Francis was 23 and 2 for the season and 2nd ranked in the state coming in to the game. They had a 6’ 10” center, not overly talented, but did a good job of stopping the Bergan inside game. Bergan’s tallest player is 6’3”. Bergan only got beat 29 to 28 on rebounds.

On the Bergan side this was the most dominating performance by one player I have seen at any level in a game, sore back and all. The Bergan team defense was working very well today holding St Francis to 37% shooting from the field and getting 24 turnovers.

The Bergan team offense disappeared. Wes did his best to get his teammates involved, but most could not make their shots and then they did not even try to take a shot. Wes scored 19 of the teams 21 points in the first half and 43 of the teams 56 points. Wes was 10 of 11 for 2’s (91%), 6 of 11 for 3’s (55%) and 5 of 7 from the line. Wes had multiple steals and fast breaks for lay ups. The rest of the team shot 5 of 23 for 2’s (22%), 2 of 10 for 3’s (20%) and 1 of 4 from the line.

I followed some St. Francis fans walking out my. They could not believe one player could dominate the game the way Wes did.

It is too bad Wes was injured and could not show case his athletic ability more, but then with 35 points on Friday and 43 points today, maybe we need him to have a bad back his whole career at ISU.

Wes ended the year with 896 points, 31.1 ppg, taking only 19.9 shots per game for 53.4%. He average 3.8 3’s made per game and made 176 free throws for 90.7%.

A friend was taking pictures and video and I will post when he gets them to me.

Only thing left now is the end season player awards.
