Bismarck head coach Jordan Whilhelm had to feel good about where his team was at entering halftime tied at 27 despite the fact his star, Connor Hellebust, had only played a handful of minutes due to foul trouble. In the second half, Hellebust jump started the offense and they rolled in the Jays in a hurry.

The score ballooned quickly as the Demons made three triples in consecutive trips down the floor. Hellebust had 21 to lead BHS.
