Alden-Conger couldn’t find its shooting touch Friday night in Alden as the Knights fell 48-35 to Nicollet.

Alden-Conger (2-6) dropped its fourth consecutive game because of poor shooting. The Knights shot 16 percent from the field and converted just eight field goals from the floor.

“We couldn’t make a basket to save ourselves,” said Alden-Conger head coach Bill Hintz.
