Pine City 87, Foley 59
Coming into this game, Pine City knew there was a lot on the line as they hosted Foley on Thursday, Feb. 22. Foley was right behind the Dragons for section seeding. Foley had a great group of seniors that had a lot of varsity experience playing together and can compete with most teams offensively.
The first half was a back and forth battle with neither team being able to pull away. Pine City had a nice run at the end of the first half, giving themselves an 11 point lead at half-time. The Dragons came out of the second half and continued to play hard to come away with the win 87-59.
Defensively, Pine City relied on Tanner Wicktor and Caleb Fromm to chase around Foley’s leading scorer all night and utilized the length of Seth Logan to guard their best outside shooter. Jake Adams and Christian Fromm led the Dragons in total rebounding with eight; Adams also had eight assists to go along with his team high 23 points.
“Duke Waxberg played some of his best varsity minutes to date and put together a few really nice stretches where he not only held his own but was positively contributing to the Dragons’ efforts,” said coach Kyle Allen. “A great thing to see as the end of the year approaches.”
Varsity: W (59-87)
JV: W (60-62)
