Boys basketball shoots over Rush City, Ogilvie
Pine City 75, Rush City 67
On Tuesday, Jan. 21 Pine City hosted Rush City for an exciting match up. Rush City has a lot of talent and athleticism on their team, with a lot of players who can contribute from freshmen to seniors.
“That is a great recipe for success,“said coach Kyle Allen. “Their underclassmen are playing like experienced varsity players and do not seem to shy away from the spotlight.
“The game itself was a game of runs. I am just happy we were able to make enough runs to win the game,” said Allen. “Give credit to Rush, they hit some tough shots, did a nice job of getting to the free throw line, and never backed down. Great conference game.”
Konnor Jusczak had 10 assists and is taking on that facilitating role on the court for the Dragons. Overall, the Dragon rebounding numbers were low; Seth Logan lead Pine City with five followed by Konnor Jusczak, Duke Waxberg, and Dylan Petersen with four each.
“Rush is much longer and much more athletic than we are, something that we did not do a good enough job of neutralizing,” Allen said. “We did, however, hold them to seven offensive rebounds.”
“We talk about it all the time, but shooting percentages is something that is only in our control to a certain degree. We really focus on taking the correct shot,” Allen said. “ On Tuesday, those shots were falling from outside. We shot almost 43% from 3, a great number for any team, making 14 3s.”
Jason Thieman came in during the second half and gave the Dragons quite the spark. He is really getting after it on the defensive end and in the full court. Christian Fromm gave some very solid minutes in both halves as the Dragons fought some foul trouble.
