Tigers Gain Conference Win
Browerville Blade, Page 10, Thursday, February 10, 2011
defeats Tigers The Browerville Tigers traveled to Royalton Friday and picked up another nice win; this time a Prairie
Conference win. This was the third game in four nights for the Tigers.
Browerville set the tone early again with Seth Kellen scoring 30 seconds into the game and Austen Wollenburg
connecting on a 3-pointer a minute later to take a 5 - 0 lead. The Royals first two baskets were 3-pointers and
were within 1 point at 7 - 6. A little later the Tigers extended their lead behind two 3-pointers by Luke May.
With Browerville holding a 7 point lead, Royalton made their third 3-pointer followed by another basket to cut
the score to 17 - 15 with 5:09 remaining in the half. Those would be the last points scored for the Royals before
half time.
The Tigers took a timeout to discuss what was happening, and then came back to the court to hold the Royals
scoreless for the remainder of the half. Kellen scored one basket and Wollenburg made four consecutive free
throws after being fouled and then shooting two more for a technical foul called on one of the Royals players. At
the half, the score was Browerville 23, Royalton 15.
Royalton scored the first two baskets of the second half before Mitch Heid connected on a 3-pointer. Three
minutes later, Luke May scored his third 3-pointer of the game to give the Tigers their first double-digit lead of
the game at 33-23. Heid backed up that shot with another 3-pointer and Kellen scored for a 15 point lead.
Back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers by the Royals cut into the Tigers lead and with 1:09 to go the score was 47 -
39. Browerville, who made 15 of 20 free throws for the game, made 7 of their final 8 to close out the win. The
final score was Browerville 51, Royalton 43.
Kellen led the Tigers with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals. Heid was also in double figures with 10 points
and dished out 3 assists. May and Wollenburg each added 9 points. Wollenburg also had 4 steals.
The Tigers travel to Nevis Tuesday and are back home for a Thursday game against Upsala.
Tigers Win
By Jim Roberts
Thursday night the Tigers traveled to Menahga to take on the Braves in another Section 5A match-up. After
an intense game against Sebeka just two nights earlier, the Tigers felt they needed to set the tone early. That
they did, outscoring Menahga 38 to 11 in the first half. Coach Schueller said, “We haven’t had any long road trips
for awhile, and I was nervous to see what we would come out like after such an emotional game on Tuesday.”
In the second half, the Tigers used all 14 players after extending their lead to 34 points early on. The final
score was 61 - 46. Tigers.
Seth Christensen led all scorers with 14 points (12 in the first half) and had 7 rebounds. Seth Kellen was the
rebound leader with 8. Eleven Tiger players scored.

with Sebeka last week. Photos by Tarissa Host.

The No. 1 team in the State Class A polls, Sebeka, came to Browerville
Tuesday night for a Section 5A match-up with the Browerville Tigers.
Sebeka (now 14-0) and Browerville (now 13-2) both put together a well
played game between two very good teams.
After four minutes of play, Browerville had a 9 to 2 lead. Sebeka closed
the gap to 9 - 6 before the Tigers went on an 5 - 0 run. Sebeka then put a
run together of their own. The Tigers went scoreless for four minutes and
Sebeka, behind two 3-pointers by Cody Pulju, took their first lead of the
game, 16 to 14, forcing Browerville to take a timeout. “We talked about
them (Sebeka) having the ability to go on a run. Sustaining the run was
important, and getting back to what we were doing early on is what we
wanted to do,” said Coach Schueller.
Sebeka increased their lead to 24 to 16 and then didn’t score again for
the final 3:10 of the half. The Tigers scored 8 points, 6 of those points from
Seth Christensen to take a 26 - 24 lead into the locker room.
The Tigers shot 48% in the first half while Sebeka managed just 32%,
including 2 of 13 from behind the arc. Roles reversed in the second half
with Sebeka shooting 48%, including 4 of 9 from 3 point range, and
Browerville shooting 40%. The Tigers were just 1 for 10 from 3 point
range for the game.
At the half-way mark of the second half, Sebeka held a 1 point lead at
42 - 41. Sebeka would then get two big baskets to extend their lead to 52
- 45. One of those, a 3-pointer by Paul Funk after a missed Sebeka free
throw. It was one of only three missed free throws for Sebeka for the game.
The other decisive basket was an offensive put back by John Clark. Clark
scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half.
Sebeka’s Cody Pulju made all 6 of his free throw attempts to end the
game as the Tigers were forced to foul. Pulju also scored 22 points on the
night including 4 3-pointers and 8 for 8 from the free throw line.
Coach Schueller said those two baskets in the second half, the 3-point-
er by Funk and the put-back by Clark, are what made the difference.
Also, free throws. The Tigers were only 4 for 11, while Sebeka was 14 of
17.
Seth Christensen finished the game with 18 points and 8 rebounds.
Mitch Heid scored 14 (12 second half points) and pulled down 10
rebounds, had 2 steals and 3 assists. Seth Kellen chipped in 7 points and
8 boards.
