<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The #5 ranked 6-2 Huron Tigers took on the #1 ranked 8-0 Sioux Falls Lincoln Patriots tonight. Stars such as [player_tooltip player_id='1949563' first='Sam' last='DeGroot'] [player_tooltip player_id='2250329' first='Brody' last='Nour'] [player_tooltip player_id='2338072' first='Owen' last='Duffy'] [player_tooltip player_id='2250311' first='Brody' last='Schafer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1641205' first='Sam' last='Ericsson'] from Lincoln took on [player_tooltip player_id='1467166' first='Blake' last='Ellwein'] [player_tooltip player_id='2348517' first='Davis' last='Chase'] [player_tooltip player_id='1959442' first='Mason' last='Jurgens'] [player_tooltip player_id='2442388' first='Myles' last='Ellwein'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2128932' first='Anderson' last='Porisch'] from Huron. Who scored and how, who made the big shots and got the big stops, PrepHoops will recap parts of the game and have some player notes as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First couple minutes of the game there was a lid on the basket but that soon came off as [player_tooltip player_id='2250311' first='Brody' last='Schafer']/[player_tooltip player_id='1949563' first='Sam' last='DeGroot'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2250329' first='Brody' last='Nour'] all started nocking down three's for the patriots and never looked back. Great energy and effort by both teams in this game, you could definitely tell they were both well prepared and ready to go! [player_tooltip player_id='2442388' first='Myles' last='Ellwein'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2348517' first='Davis' last='Chase'] had it going early on for the Tigers, but the balance and three point shooting from the Patriots was too much as they had a 8 point lead after one quarter and 13 point lead heading into halftime. Freethrow shooting was a big difference in the score at halftime as Huron was 1/7 on Freethrows and Lincoln was 10/11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Second half Lincoln tried several times to put away the Tigers but never could as the tigers kept making just enough shots to keep it close. [player_tooltip player_id='1467166' first='Blake' last='Ellwein'] did everything to keep his team in it with a very strong offensive and defensive performance but once again the strong team balance and timely shot making of the patriots proved to be too much.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quarter Scores </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Patriots 19 45 61
