Boys get a 2B split, fall to Class A Red Devils
By Mike Brandt
The second time around seems to get better for some
teams. Take the game with Harlem where R.J. Ramone
scored a whopping 39 points in leading the Wildcats to a
72-52 win on Jan. 14. But Friday night the Scotties lost 62-
52 with Ramone netting only seven points.
Defense was the key for the Scotties in the game,
especially during the first 19 minutes. Glasgow held the
Wildcats to 14 points in the first quarter and again in the
second period.
“We came out ready to play with a lot of confidence,”
said second-year Glasgow coach Paul Yoakam on KLTZ
Saturday Morning Sports Show. “We were pretty locked in
as a team. We held their shooters down. We were able to
play man against their quick guards, which we couldn’t do
early in the season.”
Glasgow (6-7, 4-3) led for most of the first half. The
Scotties ran out to a 5-2 lead on Bergen Miller’s three-
pointer and regular bucket. Harlem did take a 7-5 lead on
Jehton Long Fox’s three and led 9-5 on Trent Main’s bucket
inside the paint. Keigan Skolrud tied the game, twice, with
his buckets under the basket. Miller drilled a three that gave
Glasgow a 16-11 lead. The Scotties closed out the quarter
on a 12-3 run, capped off on Trevor Klind’s three, taking a
21-14 first quarter lead.
The Scotties led by eight early in the second quarter,
but Harlem battled back. Tyler Cichosz buried a three to
get the Wildcats to within 27-26. Ramone followed with a
bucket for a 28-27 lead. Vinny Chappell hit two free throws
and Hunter Collinsworth added a bucket, giving the Scotties
a 31-28 lead at the break.
Glasgow led 34-31 in the third on Klind’s bucket, but
Harlem managed to take a 36-34 lead on Daniel Lawrence’s
three. The game was tied at 36 when the Wildcats went on
a 12-1 run for a 48-37 lead after three quarters. The Scotties
cut the deficit to 57-52 on Chappell’s bucket with 50 seconds
to play in the game. Harlem went 4 for 4 from the line in the
final 27 seconds to ice it.
Yoakam’s Scotties handled Harlem’s press better this
time around, which helped Glasgow take a nice lead early on.
“We played a real solid game,” he said. “They came out
and tried to press us a little. We did a good job of taking
advantage of it.”
Glasgow was able to score some lay-ups off of the
press, taking the lead.
Glasgow also hit the boards well in the contest.
“Our guys did a good job of rebounding,” said Yoakam.
“Chappell was all over the boards and he’s one of the smaller
guys out there. He’s playing with a lot of confidence.”
Miller led the Scotties with 16 points, including two
3-pointers. Skolrud followed with 13 points, Klind had
eight, Collinsworth four, Chappell, Dalton Sand, and Riley
Smith two apiece. Cichosz paced the Wildcats with 24
points.
Glasgow squeaked out a 59-56 win against Poplar
Thursday night with Klind hitting two free throws with
4.1 seconds left in the game. Poplar led 14-7 late in the first
quarter when Skolrud completed his 3-point play for a 14-
10 deficit. Miller drilled a three midway through the second
period to tie the game at 19. A bucket from Skolrud and
Klind had the Scotties in front 23-19. The game was tied at
27 at the break.
Glasgow led by six in the third period and held a 42-37
edge going into the fourth frame. The Scotties used a 6-0
run to open the fourth for a 48-47 lead. Miller’s three with
4:08 to play had the Scotties up 55-43. But Poplar rallied to
close out the contest on a 13-4 run. Joe Bear’s three had the
Indians within 55-53 with 1:52 left. Glasgow moved the ball
around to take time off the clock.
Poplar had to foul to get Glasgow into the bonus
situation. The Indians committed eight fouls in the final
minute of play. Chappell sank two free throws with 22
seconds left in the game. Wilfred Lambert missed his three-
point shot with Collinsworth grabbing the rebound. The
senior missed the front end of the bonus free throw. Bear
missed his trey with five seconds to go with Klind hitting
the boards.
Skolrud, despite having four defenders on him most of
the night, scored 18 points to lead Glasgow. Collinsworth
and Miller followed with 12 points each, Klind had nine,
Chappell six, and Sand two. Bear had a game-high 25 points
for the Indians and Lambert had 16.
Yoakam has his squad playing good defense and hopes
they will continue doing that when tournament time comes
around next week.
“We can start with Trevor, he’s the staple for us,” said
Yoakam. “Defense has made a big difference this season.
We’re feeling pretty good.”
Glasgow did a better job against Glendive as well,
falling to the Class A Red Devils, 46-30, Tuesday night.
Glasgow held the Red Devils to 14 second half points, after
trailing 32-21 at the half.
Skolrud did most of the scoring, finishing with 19
points with 12 coming in the first half. Collinsworth
chipped in six points, Miller had three, and Klind two. Max
Eaton led Glendive with 13 points and Riley Basta had 12.
Glasgow will be in Wolf Point Friday night to wrap
District 2B play and will host Sidney Saturday night for the
regular season finale. It will be Senior-Parent Night for the
Scotties.
