5th Grade Boys (1/24 and 1/25)

Siren GNBL Tournament

Saturday, January 24th

3rd place

 

Rush City 37 Pine City 29

Pine City got in foul trouble early and was not able to shut down Rush’s drive to the hoop.  Pine fought back in the 4th quarter with Jusczak putting in 8 points but it wasn’t enough to overcome the 1st half deficit.

Clear Lake 39 Pine City 24

The game started with a nice 3 by Waxberg but again foul trouble let Clear Lake take full advantage of the bonus.  Some height from Clear Lake shut down our top scorer and forced the ball outside.  Petersen contributed 10 in this effort but the team again fell short.

Pine City 38 Hayward 13

Petersen found his grove on a side drive to the hoop and Waxberg and Willert both put in a 3 during the contest.  It was a nice win after two hard losses.

 

Scoring Recap

Juscazk 33, Petersen 25, Waxberg 16, Willert 7, Knutson 3, Dee 2, Overtoom 2, Swanson 2, Plasek 1

 

 

Braham Bomber Tournament

Sunday, January 25th

3rd place

 

Pine City 26 Milaca 10

In the first round of this 8 team standard bracket tournament, Pine City took an early lead and never looked back.  This was the first season of play and the first tournament for this Milaca team and PC was able to move the ball around and work out some kinks in their offense. 

Moose Lake/Willow River 31 Pine City 20

Pine City came out strong with a 3 by Waxberg but MLWR was an experienced team and PC was down 5-24 at the half.  A strong second half just wasn’t enough to get back in the game.  MLWR went on to beat Mahtomedi for 1st place.

Pine City 18 Braham 13

Neither team could get their offense going and the score was 2-2 at the half.  Pine City found their grove with 5 minutes left in the game as Petersen took the ball to the hoop from the outside corner and their defense couldn’t shut him down.
