Gator Boys Make it Two in a Row


GATORS BOYS MAKE IT TWO IN A ROW

     The BGMR Gators boys basketball team pushed their season record to 11-12 with a 61-51 win over the Warren-Alvarado-Oslo Ponies.  The Gators started the game off well taking an earlier 13-8 lead.  The Ponies however proceeded to go on an 18-6 run to end the half and went into halftime with a 26-19 lead.  BGMR came out of halftime with more determination and fire and after 4 minutes of play in the second half tied the game.  The Gators proceeded to build a lead and came away with the 10 point margin of victory.
     BGMR had a balanced night offensively.  Nick Dostal poured in 16 and Nathan Hietala had a career high 16 points.  Jacob Anderson and Tanner Creviston each had 10 points with Creviston also leading the team in rebounds with 8.  Alex Rhen contributed 8 points.
     The Ponies, who were playing without standout Zak Riopelle, were led in scorning by Jayvon O’Quinn who had a double/double with 12 points and 12 rebounds.  Matt Bergh, Danny Schmidt and Greg Schanil each had 9 points.
     The Gators will now have a week off before they play their last regular season home game of the year.  The Chargers from Grygla-Goodridge come to town next Friday.  The Gators are going to have to overcome some late season adversity to achieve their goals but the team looks like they’re ready to make a push for the playoffs.  Gator Nation will be needed next Friday as several seniors will be playing their last regular season game at the Swamp.

Next Friday’s Trivia Question:  (Answers can be given to Coach Dahl between the J.V. and Varsity game.  Winner will get a new powerade water bottle.

Coming into Friday’s game how many points have the seniors scored in their career combined?  (Be within 100).
