Dragon fans play role in Pine City victory
Pine City 83, Hinckley-Finlayson 70
On Friday, Jan. 25, the fans packed the gym in Pine City to watch the Dragons take on Hinckley-Finalyson. The two teams have had some great battles over the years and tonight turned out to be no different. Hinckley-Finalyson had a good run that carried from the end of the first half into the second. The Dragons turned the ball over, allowed easy shots and were not executing well on either end of the court. Pine City dug themselves into a hole and knew there was only one way out.
“The boys really continued to do what we do, never losing faith in the system, and it prevailed in the end,” said Allen. “I was really proud of how the boys reacted to the adversity and came together.”
All 11 players really contributed to the game. The Dragon fans played a role, as well, in Pine City’s 83-70 victory.
“When we needed energy, they [the fans] gave it to us. It is so understated how much a home court advantage can help in a big game. We needed that awesome crowd that night,” said Allen. “Hopefully, we learned a great lesson about not coming out flat and adjusting when we are in a slump, but again, I can’t say enough how proud I was of our team in how they approached the game, before, during and after, and how they stuck together. Great team win.”
The Dragons will host Rush City on Thursday, Jan. 31 and Isle on Tuesday, Feb. 5, before traveling to four away games and returning home to face Ogilvie on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
JV: L (59-55)
