The Dragon boys basketball squad continues to build their skills as they build an impressive record of wins.

PINE CITY 67, BRAHAM 62 

“Coach Eklund does such a nice job with his team and program over at Braham,” said Dragon Coach Kyle Allen. “He can out-coach anyone. His teams are always very prepared and disciplined, and when you add in it is a conference foe; it makes for a great night of basketball.” The Dragons put themselves in a hole in the first half. “Braham came out and hit some tough shots; but also worked hard to get open looks,” Allen said. “They were able to knock them down and we were unable to achieve our goals. We found ourselves down double digits at halftime, but knew we were not out of the game yet. “I was really proud of how our boys dug in during the second half,” he said. “We started to play more like a team in the second half instead of 5 individuals on the court.” Kameron Jusczak led the team on the boards with 10 followed by senior Caleb Fromm with nine and Dylan Petersen with eight. Fromm (6), Jason Thieman (5), and Petersen (4) led the team in deflections on the defensive end. Fromm, Petersen, and Cole Waxberg each took a charge in the contest as well. Luke Wilson (3) led in assists in the game.
