Second half makes the difference for Grizzlies

Posted

FIELD TWP – The North Woods Grizzlies pulled it together in the second half of Monday night’s matchup to top the Huskies 54-43. A tight first half ended with the teams knotted at 22, but a second-half Grizzlies surge proved the difference.

North Woods freshman Hannah Kinsey and junior Brynn Simpson led the second half charge as they combined for 23 points in the period. For the game, the pair scored 18 points apiece to lead the North Woods offense. Senior Coley Olson added seven more, while senior Kennedy Wardas and freshman Madison Spears each added four. A three-pointer by senior Sasha Strong also helped push the Grizzlies over the top.

Playing on the road last week, the Grizzlies kept it close in their Nov. 26 contest with Chisholm, but slipped 75-68 to the Bluestreaks. They were set to host South Ridge on Thursday evening, and remain at home next Monday, when they’ll host Cherry.
