The Perham boys’ basketball team led 29-17 at halftime and went on to defeat the Breckenridge Cowboys by the score of 60-39 at ‘The Hive’ in Perham on Friday night.  Perham shot 57% (24-42) from the field and 39% (7-18) of their three-pointers.

 

Finn Diggins poured in 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting.  He also had 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.  Elijah Morris had 13 points and 3 assists, and Charlie Rasmussen scored 12 points, pulled down 4 rebounds, came up with 3 steals and dished out 2 assists.

Leading scorers for the Cowboys were Jonah Christensen with 13 and Cooper Yaggie with 7. Christensen led the team with 5 rebounds. Alex Ohm added 3 assists.

"Perham is one of the top teams in the section and unfortunately we were not able to make enough plays at the right time,” said Breckenridge Assistant Coach Derek Grahn. “We were able to cut the lead to 7 during a key stretch in the 2nd half but Perham made some big shots to stretch the lead. We pick up play against Frazee next Thursday.”

Perham (13-0) will face Oak Grove at Concordia Saturday night at 7:30.

Breckenridge is now 9-9 on the season.
