Kalen Dittrich did just about everything you could ask of a player on Saturday when Elkhorn Valley took on West Holt. Unfortunately, he was unable to lead his Falcons to a win against the tough Huskies.

Dittrich posted his first double-double of the year, scoring 21 of the 37 Elkhorn Valley points and pulling in 10 boards in a 62-37 loss. He hit on an impressive 71 percent of his shots, finishing as the only Falcon to score on more than half his chances.

Koby Smith finished with eight points on the night and Dalton Smutny, Tucker Hecht and Brayden Effle each dished out three assists.

Earlier in the night, the girls struggled to claw back from a 25-17 halftime deficit in a 53-44 loss. The usually strong Falcon defense came away with just three steals in the game.

Amber Miller and Hannah Ollendick once again led the Falcons offensively, finishing with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Brianna Werner dropped in nine points and dished out six assists on the night. Alyssa Rood did most of her work under the rim, pulling in six rebounds to lead the Falcons.
