The Cubs capped off a perfect week, after a Tuesday, Dec. 6, win over Upsala, a victory over Dassel-Cokato on Thursday, and a rout of Royalton on Friday. Kimball shot very well against DC, and despite an occasional lackadaisical defense, they prevailed, 87-70.
?ÄúWe did not defend well in the first half, giving up 39 points. One player for DC had six three-pointers. Our defense shored up in the second half, and offensively, we dealt out 27 assists and put four players in double figures,?Äù Coach Jay Klein said. Cubs?Äô Scoring: Darius Westrich 23; Del Guerrero 20; Hayden Gagnon 18; Noah Jurek 2; Drew Gustafson 16; Levi Sodergren 1; Weston Hine 2; Michael Hoffman 5.
