Pelican Rapids took a 34-21 lead over Breckenridge at the half and went on to record a 61-49 Heart O’ Lakes Conference boys’ basketball victory over the Cowboys on Friday night.

“It was nice to be back playing a basketball game after an eight day layoff with not a lot of practices either,” said Pelican Rapids Head Coach John Gullingsrud. “We were a little sloppy offensively at times but we felt we played with good energy defensively overall tonight. We closed the first half with a nice run to gain some separation and continued to build the halftime lead early in the second half which was our goal coming out of halftime.” 

Timmy Guler led the Viking with 19 points.  Ian Fahje and Brayden Ecker each scored 11 points and Peyton Blakeway added 10.

Scoring leaders for Breckenridge were Jack Johnson and Gavin Snyder with 18 and 11 points, respectively.

Pelican Rapids (17-5, 9-1 HOL) will host Mahnomen/Waubun on Tuesday night.
