M/P-B girls fall to Lions; boys to G/M

Early season struggles continue to hound the Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Thunder roundballers, as the girls saw their record dip to 1-6 following a 53-15 loss Thursday, Dec. 19, to the Linton/HMB Lady Lions in the start of District 2 play.

The boys, while staying competitive for the most part, now sit at 0-3 for the season with a 59-49 loss at the hands of Griggs/Midkota in the Titans' opener Friday evening, Dec. 20.

M/P-B fell behind 32-9 at the break, and were held scoreless in the fourth quarter against their league foes.

Brooklyn Schumacher led Linton/HMB with 17 points. The Thunder's Brynn Sorenson was the team's offensive leader, scoring six.

The boys game for the Thunder had balanced scoring, as Chase Ova finished with 11 points and three others, Roper Foerderer, Gage Hofmann and Terek Kinzell all tallied nine.

However, G/M senior Brady Haugen was a matchup problem for M/P-B with his size and shooting, as he erupted for a game-best 23 points. Double 12-point efforts came from the Titans' Kindle Carlson and Will Spickler.

Another boxscore from a game featuring the two programs, the M/P-B and G/M girls' contest from Dec. 17, is also included.

On Friday night, Dec. 20, Griggs/Midkota's girls got their fourth win of the campaign with a 48-31 win over Midway/Minto in Crystal. Stats from that game were not available at press time.
