STAFF REPORT [email protected]

Pine City’s varsity basketball squad fell this week to a highly-ranked Mora team, then responded with a dominating win over Isle.

MORA 60, PINE CITY 46 Coach Kyle Allen noted that coming into the game, Mora was ranked #3 in state – and deservedly so. “They have a great group of seniors to go along with a 6’8” junior,” Allen said. “They play well as a team and really stick to their strengths as both individuals and as a group.” Allen said the fi rst half showcased what the Drag- ons can do as a team this year. The team found them- selves down by just three points going into the break. “Our energy was great, our execution was good, and I was excited for the second half of the game,” Allen said. “Unfortunately, our energy at the start of the second half was poor and our execution was even worse.” Mora went on an 11-0 run to start the second half, and though the Dragons were able to cut it to single digits many times in the second half, that lead proved to be too much to overcome. Allen said he was very proud of how the boys picked themselves up after that terrible start to the second half and continued to compete from that point on. “We never gave in and kept fi ghting,” Allen said. “I PHOTO PROVIDED am proud to coach any team that refuses to give in.” The Dragon boys stayed close to #3-ranked Mora in the fi rst half, but the Mustangs pulled away with an 11-0 run. He noted that Kameron Jusczak and Dylan Peters- en led the Dragons on the boards with nine apiece. “I was so proud of our boys and how they really con- which brought him very close to a triple-double – Petersen and Luke Wilson each took a charge in the centrated on the process,” Allen said. “The numbers nine points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. game. at the end of the game – the things that we say are the “He also added fi ve steals to go to that stat line with “We asked Caleb Fromm and Jason Thieman to most important – really spoke for themselves.
