Dixon's Dukes seek bounce back after back-to-back losses
Dixon High School boys basketball coach Dan Demmer faced blame for a 59-54 NCIC loss at Rochelle and a 99-79 non conference defeat to North Scott. The Dukes prepare for Ottawa and Sterling Newman tests while aiming for an above .500 season. Cobler of Ottawa is a major scoring threat at 24.2 points per game and Dixon must tighten defense to slow him and Newman’s Kurt Bogott as they seek continued improvement.
