Midgets use balance to beat Williston boys

Talk about it

Dickinson High had four players score in double figures as it picked up a convincing West Region boys basketball victory over Williston on Thursday night at Phil Jackson Fieldhouse.

Austin Fournier hit three 3-pointers and scored 15 points to lead the Midgets to a 70-46 win over Williston.

“We’re starting to click a little bit,” Dickinson head coach John Wilson said. “We’re starting to play consistent, confidence and play well defensively. That’s the biggest thing that’s improved our offense.”

Jesse Kessel added 15 points, Jordan Krieg had 11 points and Tyrell Parker finished with 10 points and eight rebounds for the Midgets (4-9, 2-9 West).

“We have to realize that no one has to be the superstar every night,” Wilson said. “We’re better when we do like we did tonight.”

Cory Vinger had 15 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Coyotes (1-13, 0-11 West).

Dickinson’s lone West Region wins have come against Williston. It will try to to change that at 5 p.m. Saturday when it hosts Minot High.
