The Swanton Bulldogs ran into an Otsego Knight team on fire and blistered the nets for 46 first-half points on their way to a 63-46 victory on Tuesday night at the Kevin J. McQuade Gymnasium in a non-league boys basketball game.  The Bulldogs hung tight in the first quarter with the visiting Knights, who entered the contest with a 4-0 record, and were down by just five, 19-14 after one.  However, Otsego really lit it up in the second quarter, outscoring Swanton 27-7 for a 46-21 halftime advantage.

In the second half, the Knights’ offense cooled off considerably, scoring only 17 more points but, the Bulldogs could on add 25 more to their total and suffered the 17-point loss.  Swanton’s Evan Reinhard led all players with 20 points including five triples.  Charlie Wood added 17 points.  Kaidyn Hutton topped Otsego with 17 points and Dane Fatzinger had 14, all in the high-scoring second quarter. 

With the loss, the Bulldogs drop to 4-2 on the season.  They will play next at home on Saturday against the North Central Eagles.
