Titans tripped by L/E/M Cards; earn three-point win over Larimore

Griggs/Midkota took a 54-43 loss to Langdon/Edmore/Munich, but got back on the winning track just ahead of the District 5 Tournament with a 44-41 win over Larimore.

The two road games for the Titans were played Friday and Saturday, February 17-18.

Carter Spitzer was the only Titan player in double figures with 15 points. Eli Larson, along with Latrell Rainey, finished wieht eight.

L/E/M was placed by a 15-point evening courtesy of Rayce Worley, and Nickolas Kingzett scored 10 for the Cardinals in their non-region win.

In the weekend clash, the Titans had a big assignment inside with 6'8" Polar Bear center Mike Myers. Even with Myers' 18 points, the Thunder's balance was just enough to pull out the win.

Ben Edland, along with Spitzer, finished with eight points for G-M. Wyatt Spickler chipped in for seven points, and Larson tallied six.

For Larimore, Jace Collison added eight points.

Thanks to earning a forfeit win in District 5 play over Ellendale, G-M overtook Oakes for the sixth seed. They faced Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier in the first round at the Jamestown Civic Center this past Saturday.
