"We played our best overall game of the year in every phase" said New Lothrop coach Brady Simons. "We have struggled offensively all year so it was great to finally get some shots to fall. To score 73 points tonight was outstanding and we had 3 kids score in double figures led by August Birkmeier's 25 points, including 7 3-pointers. Augie had a great night shooting the 3 and I thought our defense was another major key. We put a lot of pressure on them all night and we were abe to create a lot of turnovers that turned into points for us."

New Lothrop moves to 3-5 and plays rival Chesaning on Friday.
