Boys leave it all on the court
Pine City 80, Onamia 35
Onamia has one of the more talented players in the area in Josh Parrow, who is a senior for the Panthers. On Jan. 16 the Dragons knew going in that they would have to do their best to neutralize him. The “tandem” of Tanner Wicktor and Caleb Fromm got the chance to chase him around the court all night and did a great job of holding him to eight points. Wicktor and Fromm’s athleticism combined with their willingness to play excellent defense is a huge asset to the team.
“I loved how our players were working on sharing the ball on the offensive end; almost over-sharing,” said coach Allen. They were looking to make the extra pass all night, looking to set up teammates and find the correct shot within their system. They ran well in transition, created by both quick change of possessions and aggressive defense.
Coach Allen believes that shooting is a changing factor. “The only thing you can control is the type of shot that you shoot. The goal is to take the appropriate shot and not worry about whether it goes in or not. However, we were able to execute well from the free throw line, converting 16 of 17 shots.”
Seth Logan and Koleman Lind paced the Dragons on the boards with 11 and 10 respectively. The team cleaned up most of the mistakes they were making in that regards and ended up with over 50 rebounds.
“I am so impressed with Konnor Jusczak, he is really trying to do what we ask and distribute the ball,” said coach Allen. Jusczak ended with a game high five assists and two charges taken. As a team, they limited themselves to under 10 turnovers. Cole Waxberg continued his hot shooting from the JV game and ended with 13 points in the varsity; he and Seth Logan (24 points) were the only two in double figures.
