Boys bitten by Bombers, bark back at Huskies
Braham 72, Pine City 58
After stopping Braham’s historic home winning streak with a 71-48 win back in December, the Dragons had to know the Bombers would look for revenge here. Pine City seemed a bit surprised by the Bombers’ intensity early and fell behind 32-24 at the break. The Dragons didn’t shoot well in the contest, primarily because Braham guarded the three point line hard and forced contested shots. After going 20-48 against Rush City beyond the arc one game prior, Pine City managed just 7-37 against Braham’s tough perimeter defense.
“Very physical game, very fun game; Braham is Braham,” said Dragons head coach Kyle Allen. “We had a battle with them at their place and we were in another battle on Tuesday night. Neither team took each other lightly. They came out and played aggressive from the tip to the end and we turned it on a little too late. One anomaly is that we just didn’t shoot as well as we are accustomed to. We understand with our style of play we can’t always shoot as well as we want to. I thought we got great looks. It just didn’t fall.”
Pine City let the Bombers build a 16 point lead in the second half before attempting a run and cutting the lead to single digits. Braham answered with some big plays by junior Josh Zimpel, who played at a high level all night.
Nick Hansmann led the Dragons with 15 points and five rebounds. Clay Logan had foul trouble limit him to just two points in the first half but finished with 14. Jake Rademacher had nine points and five rebounds.
