SOUTH RIDGE— Ely sophomore guard Jack Davies poured in a career-high 41 points here on Friday night to carry the Timberwolves to an 83-73 win over the Panthers. “It was nice to get a win after going about three weeks without one,” said Ely Head Coach Tom McDonald. “We had played okay in some games in that stretch but just not well enough to pull out a win.”
Davies, who has led Ely scorers all season, seemed determined to notch a win against the Panthers and he stepped it up a notch with a 31-point performance in the second half alone. Ely’s other top scorer, junior Caid Chittum, got in foul trouble early and sat out much of the second half. “Without him, Jack just took control of the game for us,” said McDonald.
Chittum ended up with 13 points and five rebounds, while sophomore Drew Johnson added 13 points, five assists, and five steals.
The Wolves host Fond du Lac on Friday in their regular season finale. The Section 7A playoffs get underway on Monday.
