Burke Leads Reds to Win in Scrimmage

Lincoln – Junior transfer Dachon Burke Jr. made the most of his lone Pinnacle Bank Arena appearance of the season, scoring a game-high 10 points as the Red squad downed the White team, 36-17, in front of a crowd of 3,700 Thursday evening.

Burke, a 6-foot-4 guard who averaged 17.6 points per game last season at Robert Morris, had five of his points in a 14-0 run to provide the Red squad a lead they would not relinquish. Burke will sit out the 2018-19 season and will be eligible next season.

Glynn Watson Jr. and Isaiah Roby chipped in nine and six points, respectively, for the winning squad, while sophomore Nana Akenten paced the White squad with six points, as the event featured a 16-minute scrimmage.
