Mixed week for Timberwolves

ELY— An impenetrable Ely defense here on Tuesday helped the Timberwolves outpace Greenway 62-46 as the Wolves improved to 12-5 on the season. “I thought we did a great job of containing their six-foot, nine [inch] player and we were just great on the defensive end all night,” said Ely Head Coach Tom McDonald. “We still didn’t shoot the ball well but managed to get the win anyway.”
Point guard Jack Davies had one of his best nights offensively in weeks, pouring in 30 points to lead all scorers. Caid Chittum added 18 points while Drew Johnson posted eight rebounds and five assists.
Tuesday’s strong defensive performance proved a nice recovery after a disappointing trip to Littlefork. “We ran into a team that we just couldn’t guard,” said McDonald, as the Wolves fell 94-69. “They shot the ball really well and we had no answer for them defensively. We didn’t shoot the ball well, either.”
Davies led with 27 points, while Johnson notched a double-double with ten points and 11 rebounds. Chittum added 15 points and nine assists.
The Wolves hit the road on Friday to take on Carlton/Wrenshall. They’re back home on Tuesday to host Deer River.
