Tied 34-34 halfway through the second half, the Albert Lea boys’ basketball team had a chance to earn its first win of the season Tuesday night against Red Wing.

But the Wingers found some offense late in the game, and ended the game on a 22-9 run.

“We played our most disciplined game of the season,” Tigers coach Luke Novosad said. “But we forced too many shots and had some costly turnovers. I tip my cap to Red Wing, they are a good team and made some clutch shots down the stretch.”

Albert Lea will travel to Winona on Friday.

Tip is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
