Wolves notch two more wins

ELY—The Timberwolves grabbed a big lead early and coasted in the second half to an 80-59 win here over Mt. Iron-Buhl. “We were up 49-26 at the half,” said Ely Head Coach Tom McDonald. “We shot the ball really well in the first half, connecting on 70 percent.”
Ely posted big nights from three of its players, all of whom notched double-doubles. Ely junior Brock Latourell had a big night, pouring in 20 points and grabbing 18 rebounds, while senior Dylan Fenske added 20 points of his own, along with 11 boards. Fellow senior Eric Omerza added 18 points and 13 assists to notch Ely’s third double-double.
Junior Emmett Faltesek contributed as well, with 11 points.
Playing in Chisholm last Friday, five players hit double figures as the Wolves racked up a 99-72 victory over the Bluestreaks. “We played well offensively and shot the ball well,” said McDonald. “And we defended well enough to get the win.”
Fenske and Latourell led the way in scoring, with 22 points apiece, while Fenske added six steals and nine rebounds to his totals for the night. Omerza nearly notched a rare triple-double, adding 18 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds in addition to five steals. Faltesek tallied 17 points, while junior Will Davies added 12.
With the regular season winding down, the Wolves host South Ridge on Friday and Silver Bay on Tuesday.
