SHOWDOWN FOR FIRST PLACE TONIGHT IN MARSHFIELD
Thursday, January 28th, 2010 -- 10:17 AM
Mfld Columbus will host Spencer tonight in Eastern Cloverbelt boys basketball with first place on the line. Both teams come in at 9-1 in conference. Columbus won the first matchup this season 56-43 at Spencer on Dec. 10 in a game that was tight throughout the first half. Since the loss, Spencer has won eight out of nine overall and seven straight in the Cloverbelt. Columbus won its first 11 games before losing to Colby on Jan. 19. The Dons got back on track with a 20-point win at Neillsville last Friday. The Dons like to keep the game at a quick tempo, pushing the ball upcourt and the Rockets, who have a size advantage tried to slow it down as much as possible in that first meeting. Spencer is led offensive by Bryan Brodziski and Tyler Kolstad, who both average double digits in points scored while Dodge Langreck and Tyler Mancl are both averaging close to 13 points a game for the Dons, with Travis Pischel, Jared Boyle and David Green averaging between 8 and 10 points per game.Other games tonight in the Cloverbelt include:
Colby @ Greenwood
Neillsville @ Granton
Loyal @ Abbotsford
