Pine City 107, Braham 40

Last week, the Dragon Boys Basketball team hosted the Braham Bombers on Jan. 25 and the Rush City Tigers on Jan. 28. Both games were dominated by the Dragons. The first basket of the game was made by senior Dylan Peterson with an assist from senior Kameron Jusczak. Jusczak then put up a three-pointer, and the Dragons were leading 5-0 just three minutes into the game. It was half-way through the first half before the Dragons gave up a basket to the Bombers, putting the score at 25-2. 

By half-time, the Dragons had full control of the game with a lead of 54 points. The crowd got to see some minutes from the guys on the bench and junior Ashton Seals ended the game with a three-pointer to give the Dragons a final score of 107-40. 

Waxberg had an excellent game for points with eight three-pointers. Wilson had an awesome high of ten assists and five steals. “The guys did a nice job of finding Cole, he had a hot hand, and Cole did a nice job of finding the spots,” recalled Coach Kyle Allen. “We talk a lot about what we want to control and what we can control – that is defense and rebounds.”

When asked about the game, Coach Allen had this to say, “This game was a perfect example of our system. The guys stuck to the system, and the boys continued to buy into what we are preaching.”

Peterson said of the evening, “I thought it was cool how we beat Braham by like seventy points. And dropped 100 points on them. I remember watching Braham when I was little and seeing them dominate Pine City.”
