Boys Basketball HOOPS Results

6th Grade-- 3-0  win the Ogilvie Tournament

5th Grade--3-0  win the Siren Tournament

7th Grade--2-2  take 4th place in the Pine City Tournament

A combined 8-2 record.  A very positive day for the boys program.

Isle @ Home (1-26-12)

In a game where Pine City found themselves in the game for the entire contest, the Varsity squad fell just short of Isle 65-55.  A few mishaps on defense were the difference between and win and a loss tonight for the Dragons.  We host Mora at home on Tuesday.

@ Ogilvie (1-24-12)

The Pine City Boys Basketball Varsity Team was able to come out of Ogilvie with a 2 point victory on a buzzer beating three pointer.  The Dragons played well for most of the game after coming out flat at the beginning of the game.  We will host Isle at home on Thursday.

Meal (1-19-12)

Reminder we have a meal planned for after practice today in the 7th Grade Commons (6PM).  We hope to see you there!

Onamia @ Home (1-20-12)

We start our second half of our conference season on Friday with Onamia coming to town.  Our last battle with Onamia was the first game of the year with a run at the end coming up just short.  We hope to have a great showing on Friday!

UPDATE:  It was another tough loss for the Varsity on Friday night.  The boys played hard and well but we got into foul trouble early and had were inconsistent from the field.  We are getting good, clean looks at the rim; now we have to capitalize.

Thank You!

A BIG thank you goes to a few specific supporters of our team who bought replacement Non-Stick boards for the games.  After the purchase of a new camera, practice jerseys, and warm ups, there was little money left in the budget.  These supporters were able to buy and donate these to the team.  Thank you so much for your help!

Hinckley-Finlayson @ Home

Hinckley-Finlayson comes to town tonight in a conference match up.  We hope to come out with lots of intensity and enthusiasm.  Please come and support your Pine City Boys' Basketball teams and help us in our goals!

UPDATE:  The JV team was able to come away victorious last night against their counterpart.  The team played hard and it was evident.  The C team battled hard but were unable to seal it at the end.
The Varsity was competitive throughout the whole game and came very close to playing a complete game. However, we were beaten badly on the offensive boards and gave up way too many second chance points.  Free-throws also played a pivotal role in the game and we were unable to reward ourselves when we did reach the charity stripe.  The conference season starts over on Friday as the Dragons welcome Onamia to PCHS.  We hope to see you there!

Boys Hoops Teams Results

Good news over the weekend for boys basketball-

6th Grade--   4-0  1st place in their tourney

5th Grade-- 3-0  1st place in their tourney

4th Grade--2-1  2nd place in their tourney

A combined 9-1 is a good day for the program.

@ Aikin

In some tough match ups, the Pine City C, JV, and Varsity teams were unable to come away from the long trip to Aikin with wins.  The physicality and discipline of the Aikin teams proved to be too much.  Poor shooting hurt the Varsity team, who were unable to break their cold streak of shooting in the game.  The teams will look to bounce back against H-F next Tuesday at home!

Barnum @ Home

Tonight will be another great test in a non-conference match-up.  The coaching staff has been preaching Heart, Pride, and Hustle to the players, we hope to see all three on display tonight!

Braham @ Home

Tonight we host Braham at Pine City High School.  Players, please be back at the school by 515 for pre-game shoot-around.

UPDATE:  Last night the C team came within 3 and the JV came within 10 of beating their competition.  Both teams played extremely hard and are doing a great job of executing what is asked of them.  Their heart and effort were on display for everyone to see.  The Varsity found themselves in a one-sided battle for most of the game.  However, the last 7-8 minutes showed the capability and desire that the coaching staff has been preaching.  Finding a way to play in that fashion for a whole game is a continued search that this program is looking for.  We will have another chance against Barnum on Thursday.  We hope to see you there!

January 9th-Meal

Reminder that we have EARLY practice tonight followed by a MEAL in the 7th grade commons.

UPDATE:  We had a nice turnout for the meal last night and a wonderful overabundance of food.  More parents and families are beginning to show for our meals.  It is our goal to make this a family affair and have players and their families attend the meals.

Youth Camp

Starting this Saturday (January 7th) we will have camp for our Pine City youth at NO COST.  From 8-9AM at the Elementary Gym we will have grades K-2 and grades 3-6 from 9-10AM.  The coaching staff, JV, and Varsity players will be there to help our youth with their basic basketball skills.  These mini-camps will be happening for the next six Saturdays until our last day on February 11.  The chance for prizes will be available to campers!

Rush City @ Home

On Thursday all three teams came up short to Rush City.  The C team lost by two and the JV lost by 6.  The Varsity had a tough time scoring in the first half and dug themselves a hole they were unable to claw out of in the second half.  Flashes of brilliance were shown at times and the teams will be working on consistently showing those flashes for longer periods.

Milaca @ Home

All three teams (C, JV, and V) played very hard at home in our first returning game at home in some time.  Unfortunately the Varsity came up short by just 3 points.  Pine City will have two weeks of home games with Rush City, Braham, and Barnum coming to town.

Parent/Player Meeting (JV/V)

We will be having a short meeting directly after practice on Monday, January 2nd at 7PM at the High School Gym.  Please plan on attending this meeting.

Holiday Tournament (@ Webster (WI))

Both the JV and the Varsity teams competed in a holiday tournament in Webster, WI.  Both teams played very hard and were very resilient to the sometimes hostile environment.  The JV was able to come away 1-1 in the tournament, losing to Grantsburg (WI) and beating Webster (WI).  The Varsity came out of the tournament 0-2, losing to both Grantsburg and Webster.  Both were very hard fought games and were steps in the right direction for our inexperienced team.
