Pelican Rapids took the long trip to Thief River Falls to face the Prowlers in a non-conference boys’ basketball game on Friday night.  The Vikings fell behind 27-23 at the half, but rallied to win, 53-50.

“It was a tough, hard-nosed win at Thief River Falls tonight where we had to dig in late and get some stops on defense,” commented Pelican Rapids Head Coach John Gullingsrud. “We also hit some big shots down the stretch when we needed them to come away with a big section win on the road.”

The Vikings were led by Timmy Guler with 16 points.  Tanner Tollerud, Ian Fahje and Peyton Blakeway all contributed 8 points.

The Prowlers were led by 25 points from Jack Manning.

Pelican Rapids (13-4) will play at Rothsay on Tuesday night.
