“Nice to get the first conference win under our belt,” stated Henning Head Coach Randy Misegades. “We got sloppy at times and turned the ball over far too much. We’ve got to find more consistency on both ends of the floor. We have yet to play a complete game. We led 50-15 at one point and then we lost our intensity and coasted for the remainder of the game. It is a work in progress and we’ll get better.”
Menahga (0-4) was led by Bodie Berttunen with 15 points, 4 rebound and 3 assists, and Ryan Tolkkinen with 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals. Brock Berttunen grabbed a team leading 9 rebounds and had 4 points..
