11-21-14 (Esko)

Pine City fell behind early to last year's state champs Esko High School despite the great energy, crowd, and student section at the home opener and were unable to dig themselves out.  Jittery shots lead to a 20 point deficit to start the game and it would stay that way even with the Dragons picking themselves up and playing even basketball from that point forward.

The final score was Esko: 74 Pine City: 50.

Noah Adams lead the way for the Dragons with 14 points followed by classmate Kole Jusczak with 10.  Senior Gabe Gonyea pulled down a team high 7 rebounds while Juczak added 6 and Connor Clark grabbed 5.  Adams had 5 assists in the game.

The Dragons will have no games between now and Thanksgiving break, but will host conference foe Onamia on Dec. 2.

Grant Larson, Jacob Staber, and Chas Maloney were the Junior Dragons for the game and are pictured here with the 2014-15 Varsity Captains.
