This is kind of a late post about the doubleheader in Siren on Tuesday, but as you know life isn’t always the most agreeable to a set timetable.

Both the girls and boys games ended in lopsided victories. The Grantsburg boys went on and stayed undefeated in the conference by beating the Dragons 75-45. Coach Jon Ruud tried to take the air out of the ball by running a ball control offense and it worked for a while, but eventually the Pirates pulled ahead forcing Siren to take more shots and it all went downhill for the Dragons from there. All the players for Grantsburg scored except for Jake Ryan. I’ve noticed that Jake does a very good job dishing the ball, but rarely shoots. I don’t think he even attempted a shot in the game.

The girls game ended with the Dragons completely outmatching the Pirates.  The final score was 76-53. The Emery sisters had good games and I think Janey Emery ended with 17 points. Siren remains ranked 7th in the state for Division 4 basketball.

The bright spot for Grantsburg was Kortney Morrin who again scored over 20 points (she’s averaging 23.5 ppg in the West Lakeland conference). She is the fourth leading scorer in division 3 with a 20.4 ppg average. That average is good for 17th overall in the state of Wisconsin regardless of division.
