Glenville-Emmons boys’ basketball downs Grand Meadow with 11 3-pointers

GLENVILLE — The Glenville-Emmons Wolverines boys’ basketball team made nine first-half 3-pointers Tuesday and cruised to a 87-58 win over the Grand Meadow Superlarks in Glenville.

Knotted at 16-16, the Wolverines (8-0, 6-0 Southeast) went on a 29-8 run behind nine first-half 3-pointers to take a 45-24 halftime lead over the Superlarks (1-8, 1-4).

The Wolverines added two more 3-pointers but were outscored in the second half 34-32.

“When things go so well offensively you forget about the defensive end,” Wolverines head coach Dan Fredrickson said. “We need a little more concentrated effort on defense.”

The Wolverines went into the game allowing a state-best 35.9 points per game. They were also 15th in the state in points scored at 70.9 per game.

Andrew Lau led the Wolverines with 25 points and Tyler Woodside had 16 points and nine rebounds.

Ryan Dempewolf had 12 points on four 3-pointers.

The Southeast Conference-leading Wolverines host Immanuel Lutheran at 7:15 p.m. Thursday and travel to Lanesboro (5-2, 4-1) Friday in showdown on the league’s top two teams.
