DEVILS LAKE – Another weekend of Lake Region State basketball did not go without a little bit of behind-the-scenes plot twists. With Danny Mertens currently on leave, Colden Hutton will transition from his assistant role on the men’s basketball side and take over the head coaching duties for the Lady Royals.

After their Saturday game against Bismarck State College was postponed due to weather, the Lady Royals will look toward their Monday date against North Dakota State College of Science. The Royals, meanwhile, took part in two games over the weekend. Here is how they fared in each match.
