In recent memory, Kingsland boys basketball has developed a reputation for shooting the three. The Knights are streaky as hell. When hot, they scorch. Versus Lanesboro, they put on a show which rivalled their famous 2015 1A semifinal with Spring Grove. After an early miss, they hit threes on five straight possessions and nine straight to end the first half! The Burros were buzz-sawed and trailed 45-27 at half, 49-27 early in the second. The streakiness ended. Kingsland missed all ten of its second half threes. Lanesboro crept as close as eight (63-55) in the final couple minutes, but John Fenske’s group prevailed 66-57. Wyatt Pruter (25 pts, 4-6 threes, 7 rebs) led the barrage, aided by Reid Kruegel (9 pts, 8 rebs, 7 asts, 6 stls), Nick Wernimont and Zach Hauser (12 pts each). Carson Schwichtenberg (18 pts, 4-15 threes), Andrew Luck (14 pts, 6 rebs), and Sawyer Johnson (12 pts, 4-9 threes) did the “O” damage for Lanesboro, which went 9 of 37 from deep. Connor Ruen (6 pts, 12 rebs) and John Prestemon (5 pts, 7 rebs, 5 asts) did intangible work. The Burros fall to 0-3, 2-4.
