Potter-Dix senior Thomas Muldoon wins the tipoff to start the game against Hay Springs on Saturday.
The Potter-Dix Coyotes boys basketball team had a busy week with three games and came out with two wins. Their record improves to 9-2 as they enter the MAC Tournament this week as the No. 1 seed.
On Tuesday, the Coyotes hosted the winless Kimball Longhorns, and the high-powered Potter-Dix offense overwhelmed the visitors in a 66--11 win. Junior Luke Kasten scored 27 and pulled down 10 rebounds in the win.
On Friday, the Coyotes hosted the Leyton Warriors, a team they rallied against for a fourth quarter comeback win in Dalton back in December.
This time Leyton did not let off the gas.
Potter-Dix took the lead early in the fourth period, but Leyton kept their composure and continued to score. After regaining the lead 56-54, Leyton kept up their good defense and made their free throws down the stretch, and Luke Kasten's last gasp three pointer from half court bounced off the back of the rim to give the Leyton squad the three-point 64-61 victory.
Leyton senior Scout Gamble had five three point hits and led the scoring for Leyton with 18 points, while junior Luke Kasten led Potter-Dix with 26.
On Saturday the Coyotes traveled to face off against the Hay Springs Hawks and cruised to a 50-to-38 win.
Leyton and Potter-Dix enter the MAC Tournament this week with both hosting Monday games, with Potter-Dix as the number one seed facing Banner County in Potter, and Leyton as the number two seed playing Creek Valley in Dalton.

Potter-Dix moved its record to 3-10 entering the MAC Tournament on Tuesday following losses to Kimball and Leyton and a 54-46 wins at Hay Springs this past week.
