After losing its first three games of the season, the Glencoe-Silver Lake boys’ basketball team bounced back strong with a pair of double-digit victories.
The Panthers built on a 65-50 toppling of Hutchinson on Friday, Dec. 9, by hanging a 60-46 defeat on visiting Norwood Young America on Saturday, Dec. 17.
The win was GSL’s first in four tries against an opponent hailing from Section 2AA.
Behind a team-high 19 points from forward Kyle Christensen and 14 points from guard Tyler Ehrke, the Panthers outscored the Raiders in both halves of play – leading 26-20 at the break before going on to win by 14.
Eight GSL players scored in all, with Luke Frahm scoring seven points, center Jacob Litzau six points, guard Dane Schwirtz five points, guard Nick Schmidt four points, forward Mitchell Boesche three points and guard Ben Donnay two points.
