The Warroad Warriors took a 28-12 halftime lead against the Underwood Rockets on Saturday at the Minnesota National Bank Tournament in Pelican Rapids. The Warriors were unable to build on their lead but recorded a 62-45 win over Underwood. 

 

Daxton Olson and Canaan Kugler led the Rockets with 12 points each and Nick Seiple added ten points. Kugler was named to the All-Tournament team. 

Isaac Falk-Stoskopf and Jeff Sloen led Warroad with 17 and 16 points, respectively. 

“We came out cold in the first half and that opened the door for Warroad to build their lead to double digits,” stated Underwood Head Coach Evan Meece. “We did a much better job of taking care of the ball, but just couldn’t get the ball to go in. Defensively, we were solid and didn’t give up many second chances. We played them to one point in the second half, but couldn’t chip away from the early lead. If we get a few more shots to fall early in the game, the outcome would have been much different.” 

Underwood (1-5) will host Rothsay on Thursday and travel to Ortonville for a game on Friday.
