Pine City 78, Rush City 36
The Tigers are struggling through a tough season, and this loss would be their sixth in a row as they fell to just 1-7 on the year. Pine City didn’t play well for much of the first half as the team was working to get Clay Logan over the 1000-point mark for his career. Near the end of the half Logan would net a free throw to reach that milestone, and then the squad seemed to play much better as they turned a 12-point halftime lead into a 42 point win.
“When we rebound like we did in this game,” Allen said, “most of the other statistics take care of themselves.”
The Dragons finished with 41 boards, 17 assists, and 12 steals to just seven turnovers. Jake Lunceford and Damien Schwab gave the Dragons some good minutes and finished with eight and four rebounds respectively. Clay Logan led the way with 22 points despite not shooting well throughout the first half. Seth Logan had 16, Hansmann 13, and Rademacher 10.
“Clay missed a few shots that we never see him miss to start the game,” said Allen. “You could see he was pressing a little. But the boys picked him up, kept getting him the ball, and he did what great scorers do, kept shooting. It is an amazing accomplishment, something that is not an easy thing to do and very few earn that spot. It was a lot of fun; the boys were all into it, very supportive of Clay. It is a big deal, I am very proud of him.”
The Dragons have a pair of road games against Onamia and Ogilvie in the upcoming week, but will see their schedule get harder as they come down the stretch. With a pair of matchups against Hinckley-Finlayson and Braham yet to come, as well as a non-conference game against Mora, much is yet to be decided.
Varsity: W (78-36)
