West Iron boys fall to Norway

IRON RIVER — On the night of January 10, the West Iron County Wykons boys’ varsity team stepped onto the floor of with the Norway Knights with the intention of playing a hard fought game.   It was not meant to be as the Knights cruised to victory 67-18.
    Norway held a 12-4 lead at the end of the first quarter.  The Knights would continue to expand upon that lead, bringing it to 30-6 at halftime.
    By allowing only 2 points in the second quarter, Norway essentially sealed the game.
    For West Iron, being held to a single-digit scoring quarter and another under 5 team points has occurred more often this season than they would like.
    Junior Daniel James lead the Wykons in scoring with 5 points.  
    Breaking the press continues to be a point of contention for the boys from West Iron.  It has been their Achilles’ heel all season.
    They will be allocating quite a bit of gym time to the press break in the upcoming days and weeks.
