Packers Get 10th Win

21 Jan

The Austin boys raced to a 40-19 halftime lead Friday night against Rochester John Marshall and cruised to a 79-59 Big Nine victory.

The win keeps the Packers in a first place tie with Owatonna at 7-1, and was their 10th win overall.

Here are the highlights (although some of them are out of sequence):

Here is the Austin Daily Herald recap.

Zach Wessels had 20 points, Tom Aase 19, Joe Aase 15, Goliath Oboyo 10, Zach Vierkandt 7, Bret Lukes 4 and Nathan Schwab and Collin Weisert 2 each.

Next week will be crucial for the Packers as they travel to Mankato for a rematch with East and to Owatonna for their first meeting with the Huskies. Austin beat East 82-72 in December, and the Cougars’ only other loss is to Owatonna.

Pack Back on Track with JM Win

9 Feb

It wasn’t their best win of the year, but the Packer boys completed their season sweep of Rochester John Marshall last night with a 58-43 win at Packer Gym.

Turnovers and cold shooting plagued the Pack, but strong defense kept them ahead by double digits most of the game. Joe Aase and Zach Wessels each had 14 points, while Matt Duren chipped in 13, Tom Aase 8, Max Coffey and Zach Fadness 3 each, Jay Ettinger 2 and Andrew Kaiser 1. Let’s go to the film:

The win boosts the Packers’ overall record to 9-8, and they are 8-4 and alone in fourth place in the Big Nine. They return to action at home Thursday night against Waseca, and then travel to Rochester to take on the Mayo Spartans.
