Any chances of a win for the St. Croix Falls boys basketball team against Cumberland Jan. 6 was spoiled by its start.
“We spotted them 18 points to start the game,” SCF coach Chad Hall said. “We battled back from 20 down to get it to five points with a few minutes left.”
Cumberland prevailed 63-54.
“The slow start just killed us, difficult to come back from that but certainly a great effort to get it back to five,” Hall continued.
Aiden Meador led three Saints in double figures with 14 points. Nolan Imhoff tallied 13 points and nine rebounds, while Drew Lessman posted a double of 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Miles Wilson dished out five assists.
“We struggled with our man-to-man defense, but the guys did a great job working out of our zone to get us back in the game,” Hall said.
St. Croix Falls shot 20-for-58 from the field overall (34.4 percent). The Saints added 28 rebounds and 10 assists.
The Saints fell to 1-4 in the conference and 2-6 overall. Cumberland is now 4-0 and 5-1 overall.
