Bettendorf overwhelmed Muscatine Tuesday (12/14) by 30 points and defeated Davenport Assumption 49-42 on the Knight's home court (12/17), but came up three points short against Rock Island Alleman in the Iowa-Illinois Shootout Saturday (12/18). The Bulldogs let a nine-point lead slip away in the third quarter and a couple last second three-point shot-attempts didn't fall. The final was 38-35. Alleman, a pre-season favorite in the Western Big Six, was led by its 6-9 postman Lance Young with 17 points. The Pioneers were coming off a blow-out loss to Moline High the night before. Bettendorf will play winless Davenport West Tuesday (12/21). Below, Bettendorf center Mike Vandello tips off the game against Alleman's Lance Young at Augustana College's Carver Center.
