Free throws help Delavan-Darien Comets

Delavan-Darien High School’s boys basketball team used a big advantage at the free-throw line and a big game from Tyler Butke to build a winning streak Tuesday night.

Butke, a 6-5 senior, led the way with 27 points as the host Comets spoiled Whitewater’s nonconference opener, 62-52, giving them two straight wins since dropping their opener to Janesville Parker.

Delavan-Darien prevailed with a 19-3 advantage in free throws, but the Comets made only seven of 14 in a 21-11 fourth quarter that decided the game. Butke contributed nine points to that decisive surge.

Tony Bilderback led the Whippets with 23 points, including nine in a 14-12 third quarter that lifted the Whippets into a 51-51 tie.

Justin Fowlkes and Nick Griffin backed up Butke with 11 and 10 points, respectively, for Delavan-Darien.
