Bettendorf defeats Davenport Central; stays atop MAC

Bettendorf survived a hot-shooting Davenport Central team and the injury of its top scorer Friday (1/29) to stay unbeaten in MAC boys basketball.

A last-second Blue Devil shot bounced off the rim as time expired, giving the Bulldogs a 69-68 win at a packed Bettendorf gym. Central came into the contest ranked 10th in the latest 4A state poll, while Bettendorf was ranked 4th.

Brett Wessels, the leading Bulldog scorer, suffered a concussion when he fell to the floor after driving to the basket at the end of the first quarter.
