12/28: @Cloquet

Boys basketball goes 0-2 at Wood City Classic


Pine City coaches see Cloquet’s annual Wood City Classic basketball tournament as a great opportunity for the Dragons, giving the Dragons the opportunity to play two very good 3AAA teams. The tournament didn’t end the way they had hoped. However, they got some great experience out of it and are able to use it as a measuring stick moving forward.
Pine City just came up a little short against Cloquet, on Friday, Dec. 28, losing 52 - 58. The Dragons were right there the whole game, but were just unable to put that final nail in the coffin. Coming off of break, the Dragons struggled with some concentration and being on the road and having their schedule thrown off by the weather could not have helped. Being a bit off in their focus was enough for Cloquet to take advantage, and Pine City did not come out victorious. The effort was there, however, they failed to execute plays and the Dragons also found themselves in early foul trouble.
“When you play bigger schools, the margin for error is less and less,” said coach Kyle Allen. “We unfortunately had about a six point margin of error too much. We also did not have our best shooting performance on the year, something that we knew was likely coming out of the break.”
Seth Logan led the way for Pine City on the boards with 15 rebounds. Very impressive for a high school player to be able to go into a game and dominate like that. As a team, Pine City only had nine assists. When the Dragons play as a team and don’t care who scores, they are a very dangerous team on the offensive end of the court. When they do care, and don’t pass the ball, it shows on the score board.
Varsity: L (52-58)
