Second-half propels SW boys to victory

By Becky Walz,

After falling behind early, the South Winn boys’ basketball team (7-4, 6-2 UIC) battled back to bring home a win over Central Elkader (2-8, 0-6 UIC) Tuesday night, 63-52.
With Central opening with a couple treys, the South Winn Warriors were down early 11-6. Picking up the pace, SW set the stage for a comeback to tie the score at 20-all at halftime. The visiting Warriors took the lead 38-35 with one quarter of play remaining and kept grinding to pull out the win.
“The whole game was a grind and we had to deal with quite a few foul problems. We had some guys step up and give us big minutes and help seal the win,” said Coach Derek Taylor.
Three Warriors were in double figures with senior Dawson Wenthold leading the way with 15 points and two rebounds. Kole Hageman poured in 12 points to go with six rebounds and three assists while Braiden Todd added 11 points and four boards.
The next contest will be a rematch as South Winn hosts Turkey Valley Friday, Jan. 13, at 7:30 p.m.

South Winn 6 14 18 25 63
