Boys baskeball tonight:

The Pirates take their undefeated record across the border tonight to take on the Dragons of Pine City.

Grantsburg Pirates (5-0,2-0) vs. Pine City Dragons (2-1,2-1)

Pine City Notes:

Have won and lost a game this year on last second shots, both by the opposing team. They defeated Aitkin by one when an official ruled that a last second 3-pointer by an Aitkin player was actually a 2-pointer because the kid’s foot was on the line which would’ve tied the game. Then Rush City beat Pine City with 0.9 seconds left with a three pointer to win by two.

Beat Ogilvie by 40 on Tuesday.

Had several starters on suspension and tonight will be thier first night available to play.

Erik Wicktor is the head coach of the Dragons and has been in that position for seven years.

Grantsburg Notes:

Undefeated.

Convincingly beat West Lakeland contenders, St. Croix Falls, in their previous game 62-47.

This will be the first broadcast for Grantsburg basketball this season.

Trent Bonneville has been on fire. He has scored in the 20′s the past two games.

Grantsburg is ranked 14th by WisSports.net, Luck is ranked 8th. Both teams are in Division 3.
