Underwood played Warroad in the third place game of the Pelican Rapids Boys Holiday Basketball Tournament on Saturday morning in Pelican Rapids.  Warroad led 48-16 at the half and posted a 56-32 win over the Rockets.

"We came out way too flat this morning and let Warroad build a big first half lead,” reported Underwood Head Coach Evan Meece.  “We played a better second half but gave them way too big of a lead in the first half.  We need to limit our turnovers and create more opportunities on the offensive end moving forward.”

Warroad shot 46% (26-56) from the floor and held a 35-25 edge on the boards.  Underwood made 29% (11-37) of their field goal attempts.

The Rockets were led by Canaan Kugler (10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks) and Krosby Aaasness (8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists).

The loss was the sixth in a row for the Rockets after their opening night win over C-G-B.  They will play at Bertha-Hewitt on Friday and then host Ortonville on Saturday.
