Trojan Boys Win Fifth Straight

It was an inauspicious start (from afar). In a rarity, powerhouse R-P boys basketball sat winless after three games. But they weren’t full strength (no Noah Carlson). All three losses were to strong foes. There was maybe a state football hang-over. R-P’s win-streak now stands at five. It is going to take someone scoring more than 33 points to down the Trojans. Over the five games, that’s what R-P is limiting opponents to. It’s probably going to take someone scoring more than 41 points, the highest scoring foe (Hayfield) in the run. Kingsland fell 52-31 and Wabasha-Kellogg 54-29. Jake Paulson (11 pts), Carlson (10 pts, 6 rebs, 4 assists), Luke Rasmussen (8 pts, 8 rebs, 6 assists, 3 stls), and Landon Skalet (8 pts) did the damage versus the Knights. Jackson Rindels (7 pts) and Ian Meisner (7 pts) led Kingsland. Carlson’s health (football injury) must be getting better per his W-K performance (11 pts, 11 rebs, 6 assists, 5 stls). Rasmussen tied a career high 17 points (5-10 three’s). Again, W-K leading scorers had just seven. Tom Vix’s guys are now 3-1, 5-3.
