Boys basketball: Hot shooting carries Miners over WIC

IRON RIVER — Negaunee’s hot shooting thwarted West Iron County 60-40 in a West PAC game Monday.

The Miners poured on 20 points in the first quarter for a 12-point lead. The Wykons (8-8) never got within 10 points of the lead.

“They were dead red hot in the first half,” West Iron County head coach Dan Schive said. “As a fan it would’ve been fun to watch. As a coach from the opposing team, it was hard to watch. But what are you going to do with a team that’s hot?”

Peyton Williams and James Swanson each had 10 points to lead West Iron.

“We got beat by a better team,” Schive said. “We played hard, we just got beat by a better team.”

Jason Waterman led Negaunee with 19 points.

Negaunee JV won.

West Iron County hosts Calumet on Wednesday.
