With three wins throughout the week, the Dragons boys basketball team are owners of a 17-5 record. Pine City added a pair of conference wins to their season total, and also won a non-conference game in a rare Saturday afternoon outing. The team started its week by celebrating the achievements of a memorable senior class.
Pine City 78, Isle 31
It was Varsity Parent/Senior Night for the basketball team and cheerleaders on Monday, Feb. 5. The gym was loaded with spectators on hand to celebrate this year’s group of seniors, Jake Rademacher, Jake Lunceford, Clay Logan, Casey Foster, Cordell Major, Damien Schwab, Janae Johnson, and Dayne Pulley, and their parents.
“We had a great showing as we got to honor our seniors and thank our parents for all they have done and do,” said Coach Kyle Allen. “We know how much we ask of these athletes and their families. It is nice to be able to take a moment and visually show our thanks as a program and coaching staff for all that has been done. Our belief with this night is to not do it on the last home game, we don't want it to represent ‘the end.’ We have a long way to go, all of our goals are still in front of us. We hope it is more of a gratitude feeling.”
Pine City’s distance shooting wasn’t as good as it has been, but the team more than made up for it with higher percentages from two-point range and added rebounding. Senior Lunceford really came to play with his first double-double of the year, putting up 10 points and 12 of the Dragons 49 boards. Rademacher was right beghind with 11 points and nine rebounds. Clay Logan had 18 points, four assists, and two rebounds with zero turnovers while Seth Logan had 11 points and six boards.
The Dragons would get a couple days off after this win, but would finish the week with two games in less than 24 hours as they played a back-to-back on Feb. 9-10.
Varsity: W (78-31)
JV: W (77-32)
