Both Mainstreeters basketball teams win tonight in conference play

The Mainstreeters boys' basketball team started out hot tonight in a home contest with neighboring rival Minnewaska Area, taking a 15-7 lead nine minutes into the ball game on a bucket from Dylan Kohorst.

In the early stages of the second half, they rained threes down on the Lakers and built a lead as big as 19 points. Final score: Sauk Centre 64, Minnewaska 39. They travel to Melrose next Tuesday to face the WCC-North leading Dutchmen.

Down at Albany, the Mainstreeters girls' basketball team picked up a little revenge on the Huskies; on Dec. 22, Albany won 72-68 in Sauk Centre. The Huskies led 16-7 early in the first half and had a two-point lead at the break. The Mainstreeters cranked up the defensive pressure in the second half and grabbed a four-point lead themselves with around 14 minutes left. Final score: Sauk Centre 55, Albany 50. They host Melrose Area (9-7) next Tuesday against a Dutchmen team that's lost two straight in the WCC-North.
