Boys basketball goes 0-2 at Wood City Classic
Saturday, Dec. 29, brought a lot of the same problems as the day before, as Pine City was defeated by Duluth Denfeld 72 - 80. The Dragons found themselves in early foul trouble, but did a nice job of fighting through that adversity. Shots went in at a better rate and the assist numbers were greater than the day before, but still not up to Dragon standards. Seth Logan again had a monster day on the boards with 12 rebounds.
The pace was picked up from the day before, which shows in the final score: however Pine City was unable to play defense to their expectations. Pine City purposely schedules to play bigger schools.
They now have some great examples, on film, of what they need to fix and work on. Pine City has some big goals this year and they need to have these experiences to push and mold their athletes into the best possible Dragon team.
“While I was not happy with the outcome of the game, I am more concerned and interested to see what our reaction to the adversity will be. These are the first two losses for this group, we will see how they respond after having some setback over break,” Allen said. “I fully expect this group to regroup and get back to their roots and come out ready to reestablish themselves moving forward.”
The Pine City boys basketball next home game is Saturday, Jan. 5, at 2:30 p.m. The Dragons will be hosting The Blake School.
