melcher-dallas-5

Melcher-Dallas’ boys’ basketball team will have just one starter returning next year, who is their top rebounder, Owen Suntken.

 

Suntken averaged eight points and seven rebounds per game for the Saints in 2020-21. The rest of Melcher-Dallas’ starters will be graduating, including their top three scorers, Lane VanderLinden and the Krpan twins, Steven and Ryan. Suntken started 18 games for the Saints last season and shot 44% from the field and 59% from the free-throw line.

 

Melcher-Dallas finished 9-10 on the season, including 5-4 in Bluegrass Conference play, with a first-round playoff loss at North Mahaska.
