12/12/2014 Iron Mountain, Michigan- It was the first game of the season for our Gwinn ModelTowner Boys basketball team and it showed a bit. They played the Mountaineers at Iron Mountain and lost 34-53. There just wasn’t too much action on the floor this game by our ModelTowners and the Mountaineers were able to take the lead. Hopefully the next game will show a little bit more practice for their efforts. Gordon Mielke and Roger Stein had brought you all the action for this game on Fox Sports Marquette and GoToGwinn.com.
The first quarter lineups for both of the teams looked evenly matched with both tall and fast players. Gordy and Roger both agreed that there were a few shots that could have been made that weren’t and that in order to win, the team just needs to take those chances and shoot when they are given the opportunity. Gwinn wound up falling back quite a bit and the offense was suffering a bit this game. The end of this quarter ended with a score of 13-5 with our ModelTowners trailing the Mountaineers. Gordon Mielke and Roger Stein had brought you all of the in-game action on Fox Sports Marquette 105.1 and GoToGwinn.com.
First Quarter Score:
ModelTowners: 5
Mountaineers: 13
The second quarter still proved a problem for our ModelTowners to catch up. Gwinn had six fouls at the beginning of this quarter and Iron Mountain had only had three. Our ModelTowners didn’t get
much offense this quarter and the announcers were able to tell that this was their first game of the season and they did have jitters. The ModelTowners were doing a poor job this game of not protecting the ball and not looking at the passing lanes before throwing. The second quarter ended with a score of 12-24 with the Iron Mountain Mountaineers in the lead. Gordy and Roger brought you all the action on Fox Sports Marquette 105.1 and streamed LIVE on your smartphone at GoToGwinn.com.
Second Quarter Score:
ModelTowners: 12
Mountaineers: 24
Third quarter action was brought to you again by Gordon Mielke and Roger Stein on Fox Sports Marquette and GoToGwinn.com. There was just such a lack of defense on the Gwinn team tonight but Justin Beauchamp did a great job trying to take the lead while a lot of the other players just stood there and watched him. There just wasn’t much fight in our ModelTowners this game. The score to this quarter was 37-20 with the ModelTowners still behind.
Third Quarter Score:
ModelTowners: 20
Mountaineers: 37
Fourth Quarter action was brought to you by Gordy and Roger on Fox Sports Marquette 105.1 and streamed LIVE on your smartphone at GoToGwinn.com. Justin Beauchamp again gets some great senior leadership and gets a great defensive play for Gwinn in this quarter and scored a free throw! The Gwinn team really worked on their defense leadership this year but they were having a hard time to get someone to take that challenge in this game. The game ended with a score of 53-34 with the Iron Mountain Mountaineers taking the win.
Final Score:
ModelTowners: 34
Mountaineers: 53
