The Washington Demon boys’ basketball team will look to complete the regular season on a high note when they host Keokuk tonight in a game you can hear on KCII. Despite Washington losing their last time out, the Demons had ripped off three straight wins before that defeat to Williamsburg and are 10-8. Senior guard Ethan Patterson continues to light up the scoreboard, averaging better than 18 points per game. Washington senior forward Ajay Six has been a consistent force inside and out, posting almost 11 points and six rebounds a game, while sophomore Logan McDole has caught fire shooting the basketball and has scored in double figures in six of his last 10 games. The points are piling up, but Demon head coach Collin Stark tells KCII Sports his team still needs to make sure they also get stops.

“When you score 75 and 71 in a week, you can’t really ask for much more than that,” Stark says. “I think, if we can continue to build defensively, [we need to] keep that as our identity. As the year has gone on, when we have played well, it’s because of our defense, which then fuels our offense.”

The Demons look for their second win of the season against the Keokuk Chiefs, who are 7-12 and have lost four of their last six games. Washington can close the boys’ hoops regular season with a win against Keokuk tonight on 106.1 FM KCII and streaming on KCIIradio.com. You can hear all the action starting with the Washington HyVee Pregame Show at 5:30.
