MT. IRON- The Timberwolves did just what they needed to win here on Tuesday, as they topped Mt. Iron-Buhl 58-53. Ely’s Brock Latourell scored a season-high 22 points to keep Ely close and lay the foundation for a second-half Timberwolves rally.
“I thought he was the difference in the game as he hit four threes in the first half to keep us in it while we were struggling on the offensive end,” said Head Coach Tom McDonald. Ely was down at the half-time mark, 26-29.
Latourell’s scoring explosion was led from beyond the arc as he connected on five of eight treys for 15 of his points. Joey Bianco also had a hand in the win, tallying 16 points and seven rebounds, while Will Davies added eight rebounds.
“We did just enough on both ends of the floor to get the win,” said McDonald.
The Timberwolves are scheduled to host Chisholm on Friday, with a 7:15 p.m. start. They head to Silver Bay next Tuesday to take on the Mariners. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
