Boys basketball goes 2-0 on northern road trip
On Monday, Feb. 4, the Dragons hosted Isle for their Varsity Parent and Senior Night. It is a yearly tradition they do to celebrate the seniors for their years of dedication and honor and thank the parents for the contributions, support and sacrifices given to the program. On this special night, the Dragons came away with the victory 76-58.
Pine City 76, Isle 58
“We purposely do this not on the last home game because it is not the end, it does not mark the end of our journey. We still have big goals and a lot of work to do to achieve them,” said coach Kyle Allen. “We are very thankful for our seniors: Jake Adams, Nick Hansmann, Quentin Miklya, Bailey Pulley, Meira Back, Haven Spychalla and Maria Rubio.”
Seth Logan led the Dragons in points with 19. Koleman Lind scored 13 points and Jake Adams also had a great game for Pine City. He recorded his first double-double with 13 points and 10 assists. Seth Logan led the Dragons on the boards with nine total rebounds, followed by Adams with seven. Chris Trudeau came off the bench to add six rebounds to the Dragons total of 44 for the night.
Senior Quentin Miklya got to start the game for Pine City. He has been unable to play this season due to recovering from a football injury.
“Our focus is on next football season for him at Concordia College. However, we wanted to give him that feeling of starting one more time. Quentin would have been a big part of what we do this year,” said coach Allen. “Having his name go over the loud speaker, standing for the tip with his other seniors, getting to touch that floor one more time in uniform was all very special and emotional.”
On Friday, Feb. 8, the Dragons traveled to Duluth Marshall and came away with their first of two road trip wins of the week, 89-79. The next day Pine City fought against Two Harbors for the 92-51 victory.
JV: W (28-64)
