Parents Night/Senior Night

Friday will be our last home game and regular season game of the year.  We will take time before the Varsity game to recognize our seniors and our Varsity parents.  Please plan on attending and joining us in this moment.

Aitkin @ Home (2-24-12)

In a well played game and tough contest, the Pine City Boys Varsity team fell to Aitkin High School at home on Friday.  This was a good game that was played well by both teams.  A few minor mistakes either way could have tilted the contest.
The Boys will wrap up their regular season finale on Friday, March 2nd with Esko High School at home.

Foley @ Home (2-20-12)

The Dragons picked up a big win on Monday over visiting Foley High School.  Pine City played well most of the game, limiting their negative stretches.  A few defensive stops at the end were enough to seal the victory for the Dragons.  We hope to continue this win streak on Friday against visiting Aitkin High School in a conference match-up.

@ Moose Lake-Willow River (2-18-12)

The Pine City Boys Basketball Team was out-muscled at Moose Lake-Willow River on Saturday, but played hard and were competitive for most of the game.  The lack of legs became a big problem for the Dragons in the second half as they were playing their second game in under 24 hours.  We hope to bounce back on Monday against visiting Foley High School.

@ H-F (2-17-12)

In a hard fought battle, the Pine City Varsity Boys Basketball team fell to conference rival H-F on their senior night.  Foul trouble was a problem for Pine City as a final rally came up just short.
The C team had a thrilling 2OT loss on the night, coming up just short to the H-F C team.



We were also lucky enough to have one of our "Super Fans" join us on the bench for our game.  He was celebrating his 18th birthday and served as a extra manager on the bench for us!  Thank you for your help!

Youth Camp

This year the Boys Basketball Team held a Youth Basketball Camp every Saturday morning from 8-10 AM for six weeks.  It was free to all campers that came and was a very successful time.  The young players were able to work on their basketball skills, win prizes, work with our current Varsity and JV players, and even had a chance to be a ball boy for the Varsity team.  We look forward to having more opportunities like this in the future!

@ Siren (WI) (2-14-12)

The C team and JV joined forces together on Tuesday night to defeat the Siren (WI) JV squad.  The boys played well and within themselves and the C team players did not back down from the older competition.
The Varsity found themselves out-matched by the undefeated Siren Dragons and were unable to keep pace with them.  Our Dragons played hard through the game and continued to fight through the battle.  We come closer to home on Friday as we travel to H-F.

@ Braham (2-9-12)

The C team came out of the gates slow but were able to right the ship, winning by one in a very close and competitive game. 
The JV stayed with Braham in the first half but after losing some players to the Varsity squad, were unable to close the gap in the second half.
The Varsity squad was out-matched from the beginning of the game, but continued to fight and stayed relentless throughout the contest.  Braham's dedication to their off season and the fundamentals were evident throughout the game and will serve as a reminder as we begin our off season in due time.

@ Rush City (2-6-12)

Both the JV and the C team were able to come out of Rush City with wins last night.  The JV looked very decisive in their victory while the C team was able to pull a nail-bitter off in overtime.
The Varsity came our very sluggish and was unable to bounce back in the second half like we had done against East Central.  In the second half, Rush City out played, out hustled, and out worked our Varsity squad.  Slow starts and lack of consistency continue to plague the Varsity team.  We look to bounce back on Thursday at Braham.

Boys Hoops Results

4th grade boys----3-0-- 1st place in Pine City Tournament

5th grade boys---2-1--  2nd place in Siren Tournament

Another nice weekend for boys basketball!

East Central @ Home (1-3-12)

The Varsity team was able to put together their first winning streak of the season with a one point victory over the visiting East Central High School.  A lack-luster first half was put behind them as the team came out in the second half and fought back to take the lead.  The Dragons will visit Rush City in a very important seeding game on Monday.

Mora @ Home (1-31-12)

All three teams played well against Mora on Tuesday night.  The C team fell at the buzzer by two, and the JV team competed and played well against Mora just falling short.
The Varsity was able to come out of Tuesday night with their 3rd win of the season and first at home.  The was one of the first "complete" games for the Dragons, who played well on both end of the court.  Five Dragons scored in double figures and their poise and passion were evident.
Up next for Pine City will be East Central at home on Friday.
