Jan. 5--JM wins Big 9 battle at Austin


Austin lost its 2nd straight game for the 1st time in 3 years as the visiting Rochester John Marshall Rockets came from behind to claim a 70-57 win. It was a game of runs. JM led by 13 in the 1st half, but Austin stormed back to lead 50-45 at the 9 minute mark. But Medi Obang got his 4th foul for Austin at that point and went to the bench with his 20 points. He didn't score again as JM went on a 10-0 and 25-7 run to the final gun. 

JM dominated inside as Matthew Hurt scored 31 and Lincoln Meister 25. JM won the rebounding battle too, 30-16. 

The Packers still hold 2nd place in the Big 9 at 11-2 while JM is 10-2. Mankato East is still unbeaten at 12-0 and 15-1 overall. Austin is rated #4AAA and East #5AAA but that's about to change.

Player of the Day--Hurt

Team of the Day--Zumbrota-Mazeppa girls, who shocked host Goodhue 50-44 as Ali Hunstad scored 26. Goodhue remains in 1st place in the HVL at 9-1/17-3. ZM is 6-3/14-5.
