Premer (Alec) anchors 91-point outburst

You know that Premer kid at Great Bend is pretty special.
Panther Alec Premer enjoyed the type of breakout game that Great Bend coach Kyle Kriegh predicted when the basketball season started.
Premer pitched a perfect game making eight consecutive field goals and four free throws for a flawless 21-point night that sparked a shocking 91-66 rout of Dodge City Tuesday.
The Fieldhouse was rocking from start-to-finish thanks to a perfect offensive start. Great Bend scored on an unbelievable 16 consecutive possessions when the Panthers missed four times, they still converted points for a shocking 31-15 first quarter lead.
Great Bend's perfection ended when Daxton Minton drew an offensive foul on the final play of the first quarter.
Jacob Hall scored 20 points with Cooper Ohnmacht (12) and Tavon Stroup (11) hitting double figures with Minton (9) and Jaxon Wondra (8) one score away from getting six players in double digits.
Kriegh crafted a flawless game plan with a fast pace, quick sets and flawless passing and scoring. The Panthers converted 31 of 45 field goals (69%), 5 of 8 on 3-pointers (62%) and 24 of 37 free throws (65%).
Dodge City's Ty Scheck torched the Panthers for 27 points off 9 of 15 sharpshooting. The Panthers earned the last laugh when Daxton Minton and Javon Price stripped Scheck on back-to-back fourth-quarter steals.
Kriegh's tactic of starting with a trapping defense near half-court paid dividends when steals and deflections sped up Dodge City's offense and led to several transition scores.
