First, Goodridge/Grygla overcame an 11-point second half deficit to edge Fertile-Beltrami 58-57 in the Section 8A West final on a Daniel Polansky drive to the basket with 18.5 seconds remaining. Not to be out-done, defending champion Fosston won the doubleheader nightcap when Kyle Arneson banked in a tie-breaking 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 62-59 Section 8A East title game victory over Cass Lake-Bena. Winners advanced to the state tournament-qualifying Section 8A title game Friday in the same building. The No. 2-seeded Falcons had the fifth-seeded Chargers on the ropes early with a pair of 11- point first half leads. But Goodridge/Grygla finished with a 9-2 run to pull within 28-24 at the break on a Polansky fast break lay-up with 32.8 seconds remaining. “We played like deer caught in headlights,” said Goodridge/ Grygla coach Vern Johnson in describing his team’s earlygame troubles. “But we made that run at the end of the first half. That was the key right there.” The Chargers caught the Falcons at 28-28 on a Tra Alderete breakaway 2:22 into the second half, only to fall behind 40-29 on a Brad Schmalenberg 3-pointer with 13:10 remaining. “We fought back, made it close, then hit another wall,” pointed out Johnson. It was still a nine-point difference when Mitchell Mosher sank a free throw with 4:52 to play. That’s when the real Goodridge/Grygla rally kicked in as the Chargers scored 10 unanswered points to go ahead 56-55 after Alderete scored off a but his attempt hit the rim and fell away, preserving a 58-57 win for the Chargers in the Tuesday Section 8A West boys high school basketball tournament final.

Moments later, Goodridge/ Grygla was at the free throw line. Both shots were off the mark, but the Chargers controlled the rebound, then called a time-out with 21.7 seconds to go. That led to Polansky’s gamewinner. But the out-come wasn’t decided until Tate Mosher, guarded closely by Alderete, had a long shot at the horn bounce off the rim. “We got on a roll at the end,” said Johnson. “We made some plays, forced some turnovers with our pressure and some breaks went our way.” Polansky finished with 19 points, Preston Swenson 13 and Alderete 12. Mitchell Mosher and Tate Mosher scored 16 and 14 points, respectively, for the Falcons, with Schmalenberg (Continued on Page 7) Daniel Polansky of Goodridge/Grygla tried to drive past Fertile-Beltrami defender Tate Mosher in the first half of Tuesday’s Section 8A West boys high school basketball tournament game.

Goodridge/Grygla was 23-for- 49 from the field (47 percent); Fertile-Beltrami went 22-for-49 (45 percent). Both teams had trouble at the free throw line, where the Chargers were 11-for-22 and the Falcons went 9-for-18. One of those Fertile-Beltrami free throw misses came 5:40 into the game when a Mitchell Mosher shot came to rest on the base of the rim against the backboard. At the time, it was just a chuckle-producing oddity. Little did anyone know that it was going to be the scoreboard difference at the end. It was a 30-30 stalemate on the boards and Fertile-Beltrami had one more turnover than Goodridge/Grygla, 20-19. The Falcons’ season ended at 20-8. The Chargers advanced with a 19-10 record. There was more excitement to come in the nightcap that featured Fosston 3-pointers to end the first half and the game. Seth Carlin’s trey with 1.8 seconds left sent the Greyhounds into intermission with a 31-25 lead. Cass Lake- Bena pulled even on a Cody Wind jumper from the lane that made it 50-50 with 6:41 remaining. The teams were never separated by more than two points the rest of the way until the final shot. A Wind 3-pointer from out front gave the Panthers a 58-57 lead with 40.5 seconds to play. Zach Sather scored off a rebound for a 59-58 Fosston edge with 21.3 seconds on the clock. Cass Lake-Bena tied it when Caleb Fisher made the second of a two-shot foul situation with 10.4 seconds showing. On the final Fosston possession, there was a scramble for a tipped ball that ended up in the hands of Arneson, who beat the horn and the Panthers with his unlikely game-winner. Arneson and Carlin both scored 20 points, with Taylor Carlson adding 11. Wind finished with 18 points and Jake Ellis had 12 for the Panthers. The 23-4 Greyhounds went 21-for-49 from the field (43 percent) and cashed in on 16 of 21 free throw attempts. The Panthers, who finished 25-4, were a similar 23-for-51 from the floor (45 percent), but they picked up just seven points on 13 free throws.

Spring has arrived… now is a GREAT time to get your air ducts cleaned! AIR DUCT CLEANING Swenson is first Charger to reach 1,000-point mark A second-year boys high school basketball cooperative, Goodridge/Grygla gained its first 1,000-Point Club member when 6-3 senior forward Preston Swenson reached that milestone in a Feb. 27 game against Fosston. Swenson had 994 points going into the contest, which was the second-to-the-last game of the regular season. He reached the scoring standard at the free throw line, and the occasion was celebrated by Charger fans, who displayed signs and donned special shirts that observed the feat. Before the two programs merged, Swenson totaled 320 points as a freshman and sophomore for the Goodridge Huskies. “Preston’s a power player,” said Goodridge/Grygla coach Vern Johnson, who used to coach against Swenson when he directed the Grygla-Gatzke basketball program. “He’s a strong kid, but he can play in the post or outside. He’ll hit the outside shots, drive to the basket and he’s strong inside.” In addition to his all-conference honors in basketball, Swenson was an all-conference football tight end and defensive lineman the past two years. He plans to attend Northland Community and Technical College this fall. 1,000-Point Scorers - Boys n Goodridge - Lon Szymanski 1,400; Brett Bakken 1,283; Shawn Groven 1,282; Casey Jones 1,130; Chad Johnson 1,129; Donavon Quam 1,051; Rick Easthouse 1,042; Otto Rubischko 1,007. n Grygla-Gatzke - Tomas Loberg 1,472; Tony Nordby 1,449; Bret Johnson 1,369; Gavin Nordby 1,073; Shaun Verbout 1,011; Jeremy Engelstad 1,007. n Goodridge/Grygla - Preston Swenson - 1,058 (going into 2012 Section 8A championship game).
