INTERNATIONAL FALLS—The Timberwolves hung on through a late-game scoring drought here to improve their record to 3-0 with a 62-57 win over the Broncos last Thursday.
“We were up by 18 with about three minutes to go and turned it over a few times and couldn’t hit free throws,” said Ely Head Coach Tom McDonald. “We let them back into the game.”
The Wolves had their opportunities to expand their winning margin, particularly from the charity stripe, where they connected on just 13 of 26 opportunities. “That will have to improve as the season progresses,” said McDonald.
Sophomore Jack Davies led the Wolves offensively with 22 points, while junior Cade Chittum notched a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds. Sophomore Drew Johnson had an impressive outing as well, posting eight boards, eight assists and five steals, while junior Wyatt Mattson added 11 boards for the Wolves.
After eight days off, Ely returns to action on Friday when they host Mesabi East. They’ll be on the road next Tuesday in Grand Marais.
