BELOIT - Jake Bast scored 20 points and the New Glarus boys basketball team hit seven 3-pointers as it demolished Beloit Turner 56-38 on Monday.

New Glarus came out a little cold in the first quarter and trailed 14-11 headed into the second. That's when everything started opening up.

The coaching staff talked to its kids about coming out strong and playing solid defense.

The players responded, and took a 24-22 lead by halftime. By the time the third quarter was over, New Glarus had lengthened its lead to 39-26.

Cassidy Flannery scored 10 points and seven other Knights scored in the game.

New Glarus (5-0) will rest up for the next few days before traveling to the Benton Tournament on Dec. 26 and 27.
