GLENVILLE — The Glenville-Emmons Wolverines boys’ basketball team overcame their worst shooting performance of the season Tuesday and beat the Lyle/Austin Pacelli Athletics 55-44 in Glenville.

The Wolverines (13-0, 10-0 Southeast) shot 9-for-22 from the free throw line and 4-of-19 from the 3-point line, and led the Athletics (4-9, 4-5) just 48-44 with less than five minutes left in the game.

“You’ve got to win ugly sometimes and tonight we definitely did,” Wolverines head coach Dan Fredrickson said. “Our guys did a nice job of staying poised down the stretch.”
