12/16/13 Webster (WI)

12/12/13 Isle

The Dragons found themselves in a back and forth game that had 3 major runs total; two by the Dragons and one by the Huskies.  Pine City was able to hold off the visiting Isle Huskies 59-45 in the end.  Noah Adams lead the Dragons with 28 points, 9 rebounds, 6 steals, and 3 assists.  Senior Andrew Blake pulled down 8 rebounds and played very strong on the inside on the night.  Kole Jusczak maybe had the biggest "step up" of the night in the second half when he tightly guarded the hot hand for Isle, Trevor Oswald, and did a great job of neutralizing him on the defensive end.

The Dragons will start their 3 game week next week at home on Monday against Webster High School (WI).

Gonyea and Hansmann each had 4 steals as well.

The Dragons will have their first official home game on Thursday against the undefeated (4-0) Isle Huskies.  We are hoping to see a big turnout for the game with student, friend, family, and community support!
