The Sauk Centre boys’ basketball team won a hard-fought
sub-section playoff game Saturday afternoon to advance to Tuesday’s sub-section
final.
The top-seeded Streeters defeated No. 4 seed Staples-Motley
61-48.
Sauk led throughout, but the Cardinals kept it close until
the Streeters were able to make some key baskets and free throws down the
stretch.
The Streeters led 30-24 at the half and led by as much as 11
early in the second half at 42-31. But the Cardinals went on a 7-0 run to close
the gap to four.
Then buckets by Adam Jensen and Cole Neubert put Sauk back
up by nine and they never looked back. Matthew Moritz and Seth Otte both made
key free throws in the final minutes to help seal the win.
Josh Buschette led the squad with 17 points. Otte added 13
and Moritz 12.
The Streeters will face the winner of the Melrose/Long
Prairie-Grey Eagle match up on Tuesday at St. John’s University.
