Rushford-Peterson braved the weather Monday night to travel down to Spring Grove for a big boys basketball game. Spring Grove was 14-1 and rated #8A, while RP was 12-6, #14. Still I won't say this was an upset because RP just has a way of coming up big when it counts, like tonight, on the road at a #8A opponent, they came from behind for a 69-66 win. RP led at the half, but Spring Grove led by as many as 3 in the 2nd half. But Landon Skalet scored 20 points for RP with 3 3s, while Luke O'Hare added 17, Kobe Lind 14 and Justin Ruberg 11. It's hard to beat that kind of balance, though Spring Grove had some balance of their own with Alex Folz scored 25 points with 6 3s, Noah Elton 14 and Ethan Matzke 11 with 6 boards and 4 assists. A lot of talent on that Spring Grove floor Monday night, and for RP O'Hare and Lind are sophomores and Ruberg just a freshman.
Player of the Day--Landon Skalet
Team of the Day--Rushford Peterson
Coach of the Day--Chris Drinkall in his 1st year replacing the legendary Tom Vix
