DODGE CITY–Dodge City’s men used a strong offensive start and 26 points from Jason Edwards for a 92-78 win over Colby, while Jada Burton tallied a triple-double to lead the Conq women in an 87-60 rout over the Trojans in a doubleheader Saturday at the Student Activities Center.
In the men’s game, Dodge City connected on a season-high 12 threes while holding Colby to just under 39% from the field.
Edwards’ 26 points came from an efficient 11-for-16 shooting, including 4-of-7 from distance to go along with seven assists and seven rebounds.
Four other Conqs scored in double figures, including 16 from Jacobi Sebock, 11 each from Cam Malray and Avnoor Bhullar, and 10 from DJ Jones.
At one point in the second half, the Conquistadors stretched the lead to as wide as 26 with 7:59 remaining before the Trojans narrowed the gap slightly ahead of the final whistle.
