Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to all of our players and their families.  Hopefully the time off will be a good chance to catch up on rest both metally and physically.  We will look to get back to the grind at practice on the 27th in preperation for our Holiday Tournament.

12-22-11 @ Duluth Marshall

Bus Leaves at 330.

Bring Whites, water bottles, good attitudes, and either food or money for after if you wish.

UPDATE:

Unfortunately the Pine City Boys Varsity were unable to walk out of Marshall with a victory.  We fell behind quickly at the beginning of the game and were unable to claw back.  This has been a trend in our games so far this season and we will look to get quicker starts and more energy and passion from our players at the beginning of games. 
The JV/C squad was able to come out with a very impressive victory at Duluth Marshall.  They continue to grow together and get stronger every game.

12-20-11 @ East Central

The bus will be leaving at 445PM.  Please do not forget your jerseys, water bottle, and a good/winning attitude!

UPDATE:
Pine City was able to go into East Central and come out with three wins.  C and JV both played well and were able to defeat their opponents.  The Varsity team came out very slow and sluggish and fell behind by 10 at half.  They were able to battle back and really put the pressure on the last 8 minutes.  It lead to an eventual 52-47 win.

Volunteer--Toys For Tots

The C team will be volunteering for Toys for Tots on Friday (12-16-11) from 315-5 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church.

The JV and Varsity teams will be volunteering for Toys for Tots on Saturday (12-17-11) from 830-10 AM at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church.

UPDATE:

There will be an optional shoot around after volunteering at Toys for Tots for 1 hour at the Elementary School on Saturday.

Team Pictures

The C, JV, and Varsity teams will be taking Team and Individual pictures on Friday, 12-16-11.  Picture order forms were given after practice on Wednesday.  Please come prepared for pictures with uniform and picture order forms.

12/13/11 @ Isle

JV/C team will again be playing together.

Bus leaves at 4.

Film directly after school.

UPDATE:

The Pine City Boys Basketball team was over matched in most fazes of the game on Tuesday night.  The final score of the game was 90-43.  We will look to rebound from this in preparation for East Central next Tuesday in East Central.  We will take the extra days of practice to get our bodies and minds ready to go.

12/9/11 - Ogilvie @ Home

We will again be combining the C team and JV team tonight for the JV Game.

There will be film after school at 315 for all Varsity players.

There will be a "6th Man" meeting directly after school in Coach Allen's room.

UPDATE:

The Pine City boys basketball team came up just short losing by two in OT.  The boys played very hard and are taking steps in the correct direction.  We start a three game road trip before the holiday break next week starting @ Isle.

Players New Tradition

The players have started a new tradition for the Pine City Boys Basketball Team.  Every Saturday a group of players gets together at a local restaurant to have breakfast together before practice.  It is players only and run by the players.  The numbers are continuing to grow and we hope that this tradition continues not only for this year but for years to come.

12/6/11 @ Onamia

There will be no C team game tonight.  The C team players will still be joining us and will be sitting JV.

We are meeting after school in Coach Allen's room for film before we leave at 4:15PM.

Make sure to bring your White Jerseys, Warm-ups, Water Bottles, snacks, and any other necessities.

UPDATE:

The Pine City Boys Basketball Varsity Team fell to Onamia High School 68-61 in Onamia on Tuesday Night.  The boys fought hard but were out rebounded by Onamia and this played a huge role in the outcome.  A comeback mounted in the second half but unfortunately fell short in the end.  The team will be moving on quickly and begin getting ready for Ogilvie on Friday at home.
