ELY— Junior Joey Bianco poured in 31 points and notched 20 rebounds for a double-double as he led the Timberwolves to a 66-28 drubbing of Littlefork-Big Falls. Ely’s defense dominated throughout as they held the Vikings to just nine points in the first half.
“We played well defensively all night against a very young Littlefork team,” said Ely Head Coach Tom McDonald.
Senior Harry Simons scored 16 points and junior Gunnar Hart posted seven rebounds on the night.
Ely’s previously-scheduled Tuesday night contest with Carlton was postponed to Saturday, Feb. 12, due to a conflict with precinct caucuses.
The Wolves are set to host Eveleth-Gilbert on Friday. They’ll travel to Deer River to take on the Warriors on Tuesday.
