Coyotes Earn Trip to District Finals

Falls to Loomis 83-45

Potter-Dix’s Coyote Basketball team had their best season in 13 years, finishing with an 18-and-5 record, a D2-11 Sub District Title, and earned a trip to the D2-5 District Final before falling to the Loomis Wolves 83-to-45.

The team set many records during the season, including fewest points allowed in a game (19 against Peetz) and fewest points allowed per game average, 45.0. The previous record was 52.9 set in the 1988-89 season.

There were many individual records set during the season, including senior Javon Coyle’s 16 assists in a game, beating the previous record of 13. Sophomore Luke Kasten broke three records; most points in a game (46), field goals in a game (21) and field goals in a season (202). Kasten also broke the record for rebounds in a game with 20, and rebounds on the season with 267.

Although the Coyotes will miss the contributions of seniors Javon Coyle and Brandon Mendoza next season, the team is young and very experienced, and looks to do even better next year with the experience of winning the MAC Tournament, Sub district Title and making it to the D2-5 District final as a solid foundation for even more success next season.
