HARRIS – The Norway Knights fought back from a nine-point halftime deficit but the host Bark River-Harris Broncos ended up on top 54-53 in a see-saw Skyline Central Conference tussle Monday night.
After outscoring the Broncos 16-14 in the opening eight minutes, the Knights (8-5) surrendered 21 points in second quarter and fell into a 35-26 hole at halftime.
Norway responded with an 18-7 run in the third quarter to hold a 44-42 lead heading into the fourth, but BR-H (5-5) won the fourth-quarter battle 12-9 to post the victory. Norway played without top scorer Anthony Pineda, out with an illness.
Kaleb LaPine did his best to replace Pineda’s points by scoring 20 in the contest. Elliott Kraemer and Owen Baij joined in that effort by recording 14 and 11 points, respectively.
Gabe Spear led three BR-H double-digit scorers with 15. Remington Steel recorded 11 and Brayden Derouin contributed 10.

Owen Baij (10) of Norway powers past defenders Monday.
The Knights are scheduled for a road game at UPSSA Division 4 No. 4 North Dickinson (9-1) on Wednesday. Norway will be seeking a measure of revenge after the Nordics won the first encounter 45-32 on Jan. 12.
