ELY- Ely’s Joey Bianco hit the go-ahead bucket here with 1:33 remaining and a desperation North Woods three at the buzzer failed to connect as the Timberwolves came from 13 points down to shock the Grizzlies, 63-60, last Friday.
The Timberwolves took advantage of horrendous second-half shooting by North Woods to steadily cut into a 42-30 halftime deficit. The Grizzlies were an icy cold six-of-32 shooting, or 19 percent, after the break, and hit just one-of-14 from beyond the arc.
Emmett Faltesek kicked off the Ely surge with a trey, and the Timberwolves collected additional three-pointers from Bianco, Will Davies, and Harry Simons as they trimmed the gap to 51-49. Mason Davis scored on a fast break to knot the score 51-51 with seven minutes remaining.
