Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ninilchik). They put the hurt on Nanwalek with a sharp 87-64 win on Saturday. The victory was nothing new for the Wolverines as they're now sitting on three straight.
Ninilchik's win bumped their record up to 9-6. As for Homer, their victory bumped their record up to 3-9.
Things could have been worse for Homer, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 72-58 loss to Ninilchik in their previous matchup last Saturday. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Ninilchik's Kade McCorison, who went 11 for 21 en route to 31 points in addition to eight boards and seven assists.
