BIGFORK—An impressive North Woods offense, led by senior Trevor Morrison, powered the Grizzlies to a 95-45 season-opening victory against the Huskies here on Tuesday.

“I was pleased with our hustle and intensity considering it was our first game,” said North Woods Head Coach Will Kleppe. The Grizzlies jumped to a quick lead and never looked back, taking a 52-25 lead into halftime. They continued to dominate in the second half, leaving the Huskies little room to maneuver.

Morrison led all scorers with 32 points, while junior Darius Goggleye poured in 23 points of his own. A trio of Chiabottis, including freshmen Jared and Brenden, and sophomore TJ, scored 13, 11, and 10 respectively. Senior Levi Byram added to the mix with six points.

Leam Prato was the top scorer for Bigfork with 21 points.

Kleppe said he saw a number of things his team will need to continue to work on in practice, but was pleased overall with the strong start. “We saw some good things,” he said. “We worked hard on defense and on the boards which benefited our offense.”
