FOSSTON STARTS GAME ON 17-1 RUN CRUISES PAST PIRATE BOYS HOOPS

The Fosston Greyhounds jumped out to a 17-1 to start the game and never looked back as they cruised to a 74-42 victory over the Crookston Pirate Boys Basketball game in Fosston.  

FIRST HALF
For the second straight game, Crookston struggled to take care of the ball early, and this time, the Fosston Greyhounds, behind their full-court pressure and run-and-gun offense to build a 9-0 lead in the first two minutes of the game while forcing Crookston to call a time out.  Four minutes into the game, Crookston’s Tanner Giese picked up his second foul of the game, and Coach Greg Garmen elected to keep him in the game. It paid off because Giese scored the first Pirate point of the game by making a free throw.  10 seconds later, Fosston added another basket as Tony Carlin scored in the paint to give his team an 11-1 lead with 12:41 left in the half.   About one minute later, Giese picked up his third foul and had to sit the rest of the half.  Fosston continued to dominate and scored six more points for a 17-1 lead halfway through the half.
Crookston finally got back on the board with two Hunter Nicholas free throws.  Fosston answered with four points before Crookston’s offense finally got going when Ryan Abeld buried a three-pointer from the corner, and after a Fosston three-pointer, the Pirates responded with back-to-back Nicholas baskets to get his team within a 24-10 deficit.  Fosston responded with a Carson Boushee three-pointer before Crookston’s Gavin Winger made back-to-back three-pointers to get within a 32-19 deficit with two minutes left in the half.
Fosston outscored Crookston in the final minutes and took a 38-23 lead into halftime.

SECOND HALF
In the first nine minutes of the second half, Fosston outscored Crookston 21-8 and led 59-31.  Crookston’w Winger stopped the run with a Winger step-back three-pointer to get within a 59-34 deficit.  Fosston responded with five points before Caden Boike made a free throw, but Fosston was too strong the rest of the way.  One positive, Crookston kept it out of running time as Fosston’s largest lead was 32 points, and running time starts at 35.  Both teams went deep to the bench in the final minutes, and Fosston won 74-42.
