A hard-fought 64-61 win was the outcome of the Sauk Centre vs. Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta boys' basketball game tonight in Morris. The West Central North Conference win improves the Mainstreeters' overall record to 6-0 and 2-0 in the league.
With just under a minute to go, two MA/CA free throws gave the host Tigers a 61-59 lead. Matthew Moritz then drained the go-ahead score with 29 seconds on the clock with a three-pointer to put Sauk Centre on top for good. The Mainstreeters led 37-31 at halftime and built their lead as large as 16 points in the second half over the winless Tigers (0-5, 0-4 WCCN).
Josh Buschette was the leading scorer with 21 points, four assists and three steals. For the game, Sauk Centre shot 25-of-57 from the floor.
Up next: a tough road trip to the St. Cloud Metro Area, where they'll square off with St. Cloud Cathedral. The Crusaders, members of Section 5AA, are 5-2 overall and one of just two unbeaten teams left in the Granite Ridge Conference. They also have a potent offense with a 72 points-per-game average. Sauk Centre is no slouch either, of course, as they have a 73.5 points-per-game average so far.
Two Sauk Centre teams are in action at home Friday night in Sauk Centre: Prairie Centre Area boys' hockey and the Mainstreeters girls' basketball team. The SC-M wrestling team also has a home event, a quadrangular down in Melrose that starts at 5 p.m.
