The Manitowoc Lutheran Boys Basketball team mounted a dramatic comeback last night against Roncalli.
The game started out very close, with the Jets only carrying a 24-22 lead into the break, but stellar three-point shooting gave Roncalli a 14-point lead with under 10 minutes to play.
Then, the comeback was on. The Lancers used a stifling defense to keep Roncalli to only 8 points down the stretch while being aggressive in the lane to net 23 points.
A three-pointer by Derek Laabs put the Lancers on top 51-50, which was the final score.
The Lancers’ Aiden Franzen led all scorers with 15, while Laabs netted 14.
Roncalli was led by Bret Simmer who had 14 points, while Landon Chalupny tallied 13.
With the win, the Lancers improve to 4-7, and will put their two-game win streak on the line on Friday at Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah.
Roncalli fell to 4-5 on the year and will be hosting Brillion on Friday.
