Crivitz Boys Claims Two M&O Conference WinsIssue Date: December 22, 2020 Crivitz Wins Rivalry Game Over Wausaukee
The Crivitz Wolverines hosted the Wausaukee Rangers Thursday evening for an old fashioned cross town showdown between two longstanding basketball rivals.
After 28 minutes of play the Wolverines were on top by a considerable margin 80-46.
Crivitz kept itself at arms length for the entire game, controlling the scoreboard at the half with a 46-25 readout.
"Turnovers killed us," said Wausaukee Head Coach Jon Betts. "They just out played us. They were more physical and quicker. The hustle the Crivitz guys had made a big difference."
Eian Baumann was the evenings top scorer with a hefty 28 points to his name. He was three of three at the line while hitting three of his six three pointer attempt. Sean Christiansen posted 14 points while Seth Sellen chipped in 13 points.
"My rotation is seven maybe eight and starting the season we had ten," said Baumann. "I put in some of the younger guys the second half and they stepped up."
Wausaukee's Corey Boesen finished with 14 points while Brenden Versaskas piled up 13. Peyton Betts got 12 points.
"I thought we have made some strides from Tuesday night's game" said Crivitz Head Coach Jeff Baumann. "I thought the passing was pretty good but we were unable to finish inside. That was probably the biggest negative. We did a lot of good things out there tonight though. I give Wausaukee credit in getting to the basket. Next game we will look to get into better position on the court."
Wausaukee (46) - Betts 12, Suennen 3, Boesen 14, Rowley 4, Versaskas 13. FTs: 9-17
