Cloquet had taken Hibbing down for four straight games at home, but that winning streak came to an end on Thursday. The Lumberjacks were outmatched by the Bluejackets and fell 76-42. While losing is never fun, the Lumberjacks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 298th, while the Bluejackets are ranked 122nd).
Cloquet has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-9 record this season. As for Hibbing, they pushed their record up to 11-5 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road.
While Cloquet had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
