Litchfield at Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City
6 p.m., Friday, Nov. 21

The success Litchfield experienced with appearances in the 2012 and 2013 state tournaments disappeared last year as the team finished 9-18. The Dragons may be poised to move back towards a winning record this season with the return of their top three scorers: Alex Hendricks, Cody Rau and Dylan Kotzer.

Litchfield starts its season with a test, traveling to Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City.

ACGC made an impressive run in the Class 1A, Section 2 playoffs and reached the state tournament, where it lost 71-63 in the quarterfinals to eventual runner-up Rushford-Peterson.

The Falcons return Colton Minnick and Brody Larson. Minnick averaged 13.6 points per game in the regular season, while Larson averaged 11.3.

Litchfield won last season’s meeting 61-45.
