Bertha-Hewitt proved to be too much for the Underwood Rockets on Tuesday night, as the Bears were victorious 80-54.  Bertha started the scoring early in the game and jumped out to a 16 point halftime lead.  Underwood could not make a comeback and ended up on the losing end of a 26 point game.  

The Bears placed three players in double figures, led by 20 points from Brendan Adams.  Adams completed his double-double with 12 rebounds.  Kole Weishalla added 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Aden Rach contributed 12 points, 3 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals.  Ethan Wachin finished with 9 points, 5 boards and 2 steals, and Kane Hindzmann also had 9 points.  Landan Adams added 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Preston Miller dished out a team high 5 assists.  Bertha-Hewitt made 50% (30-60) of their shots from the floor.

"Our defense was not able to slow down Bertha's offense tonight,” said Underwood Head Coach Evan Meece.  “They scored a lot of buckets off of turnovers and second chances.  Offensively, we did a nice job of putting some points up but it was too little too late."

Krosby Aasness scored a game high 25 points.  Joey Kupfer added 10 points and 6 rebounds, and Gavin Pausch had 9 points and 3 assists.  Jayden Harig dished out a team high 4 assists.

Bertha-Hewitt (1-3) will play at Wadena-Deer Creek on Thursday night.

Underwood (0-6) is at Park Christian in Moorhead.
