“This was a really good game to get everybody in and get our feet back underneath us on the offensive end of the floor,” said head coach Jacob Jarvensivu. “We played really well offensively and got almost everyone involved. I thought our defense was also really good in holding White Lake down. This was a really fun game for the kids to play in and a fun game for me to coach.”
Mosinee

Tyler Welke and Gavyn Palmer led the Hatchets with 10 and 8 points, respectively.
After the game, Jarvensivu noted that Mosinee is “a really good basketball team and they showed it tonight.”
“They are very athletic and it was hard for us to handle. I thought the boys fought despite being overmatched.”
