BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – With Bismarck State now participating at the NAIA level, the Mystics are now grabbing transfers from United Tribes, its former rival school. Houston Davis played two years with the Thunderbirds and joined the BSC ranks\u2014 only, he didn\u2019t come alone. <\/p>\n
The Davis brothers are together again on the court<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just works,\u201d said Tristin Davis.<\/p>\n
Bismarck State jumping up to the four-year level created a new chance for Houston and Tristan. They hadn\u2019t shared the court since their high school days at Turtle Mountain.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time we step on the floor, we just have a great connection,\u201d said Tristin. \u201cIt\u2019s a great feeling to be able to play alongside him. I got an opportunity here to play right next to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fun, you can\u2019t even explain it because we just know where each other are going to be on the court and we just have that chemistry and we\u2019re trying to get that with the other guys too,\u201d said Houston Davis.<\/p>\n
Houston played two years at United Tribes. The thousand-point JUCO scorer got recruited by multiple schools, but one coach stayed persistent. BSC head coach Kevin Rice invited both Houston and Tristin to an open gym.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe asked us to come and play in a scrimmage and stuff. He liked it too, the way we played together. It was nice,\u201d said Houston.<\/p>\n
And the Mystics landed both brothers.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I could try to walk on wherever he tries to go. He decided to stay in Bismarck, and I was like, \u2018You can help me get on the team, maybe,\u2019\u201d said Tristin.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad I made the decision, and I\u2019m happy to be here,\u201d said Houston.<\/p>\n
Six games into the new season, Houston leads the Mystics in points per game. Tristan is third. The brothers are both in the top three on the team in assists.<\/p>\n
