NORWAY– Gannon Bray, one of three Norway players in double figures, hit a go-ahead layup with less than a minute to play to help the Knights win their fourth straight, 60-58 over Bark River-Harris, in Skyline Central boys basketball Monday.

Logan Parolini led all scorers with 20 points and Kody Hendricks netted 19 for the Knights.

Bray, who scored 11 in the game, beat his man off the dribble to drive in for what amounted to the game-winning bucket.

“We ran that play earlier in the half and Gannon missed the layup,” Knights head coach Jeff Gallino said. “But we decided to go back to it, because Kody was getting double- and even triple-teamed at times. (Nathan) Paulitch free throws at the end (of the game) were huge for us also.

“I thought the boys showed a lot of resilience by pulling through at the end of the game and getting the win. They made the stop they needed to make to secure the victory.”

Bark River was led in scoring by Nick Javurek with 18 points, followed by Trenton Wood-Keshick with 14 points, and Riley Bray netting 13 points.

For the majority of the contest, it was a game of scoring runs, going back and forth from team to team.

Norway got out to a 12-2 lead in the early stages of the first quarter, with Hendricks netting 12 of his 19 points. All of a sudden, the Broncos pulled themselves back into the ball game with a 14-7 scoring run of their own.

“I thought we had a great first quarter, followed up by a not so good second quarter,” said Gallino.

In the first three minutes of the second quarter, the Knights went on a 12-3 scoring run, but the Broncos stymied the Knights’ momentum with a 6-2 spurt of their own to narrow the Norway lead at halftime to single digits.

The third quarter was the best played for the Broncos, outscoring the Knights in a frame that was back and forth for the most part. Riley Bray hit a 3-point shot at the buzzer to give Bark River a one-point lead going into the final stanza.

In the final quarter, the score was deadlocked at 56 with 3:52 remaining. The score went back and forth once again.

“That was a problem for us tonight, we couldn’t stretch any of the leads we got, letting them slip away each time,” said Bark River-Harris head coach Mark Zawacki, his team dropping to 5-4.”We’ve talked to the kids about our focus. There were a couple of offensive sets we were trying to run at the end of the game, and our focus wasn’t there.”

The Knights remain home to host non-conference foe West Iron on Friday, while the Broncos head to Gwinn on the same night, also for non-conference action.

In the JV game, Norway moved to 10-0 on the season, defeating the Broncos 48-32. Nolan Amundson led all scorers with 20 points.
