Packers Fall to Red Wing

9 Jan

The Austin Packers, fresh off an 18-point win over Rochester Mayo Friday night, came back for a make-up game Saturday night in Red Wing. The game had been scheduled for Dec. 11 but was snowed out.

Cold shooting plagued the Packers in this contest, as they were down 28-25 at the half. The second half was a little colder, as the Pack managed just 19 points and lost 57-44.

Here are the highlights:

Joe Aase had 14 points for the Packers, Tom Aase 9, Zach Wessels 8, Zach Fadness 5, Matt Duren 5, Jay Ettinger 2 and Max Coffey 1.

The Packers return to action Tuesday night, taking the road to play at Mankato East.

Packers fall to 1-1 in conference

18 Dec

A slow first half in which they managed just 19 points put the Austin Packers down by 11. Then a 5-0 run by Winona to start the second half put the Packers in a hole that was just too big. Although they battled hard for the rest of the game, they could get no closer than 10. The final score was 65-46.

Here is the Austin Daily Herald story on the game and the Post-Bulletin recap, along with the KAAL-TV 10 p.m. sports, which includes a mention of “the brothers Aase.” Actually, their dads are brothers.

As is our practice, here is a more comprehensive set of video highlights. Unfortunately, thanks to the social cluelessness of some younger Winona players, the camera view of  an early 3-pointer by Zach Fadness was obstructed. But here’s the best of the rest:

Joe Aase had 15 points for the Pack, Matt Duren 12, Tom Aase 8, Zach Wessels 6 and Zach Fadness 5.

Next up is New Prague on Tuesday night in Packer Gym.

Packers start fast, win big in conference opener

15 Dec

The Packers went on the road last night for their Big Nine conference opener, and came away with a convincing 82-50 win over Faribault.

Pressure defense and hot outside shooting, including 10 three-pointers in the first half, got the Austin boys out to an early 23-13 lead, which they stretched to 42-27 at halftime. The Pack scored first in the second half and never looked back.

Ten Packers got into the scoring act, led by Joe Aase (17), Zach Wessels (14) and Zach Fadness (11), followed closely by Tom Aase (9), Max Coffey (8), Andrew Kaiser (8) and Jay Ettinger (7). Colin Weisert (4), Matt Duren (2) and Goliath Oboyo (2). The Packers were also perfect (6-6) from the free throw line.

Here are the highlights. Note the expression of dismay at the Packers’ shooting by the Faribault coach just before halftime.

Here are the Post-Bulletin and Austin Daily Herald stories. To get the other side, see the Faribault Daily News story, aptly titled “Speechless.”
