Balance Wins: Rangers Best Cardinals Again

Staples-Motley’s road woes continue.
The Cardinals, without leading scorer Kyle Jansson, looked lax in losing for the eighth time in nine tries away from Staples-Motley High School, 72-41 to Crosby-Ironton Friday night.
Staples-Motley (4-13, 3-4 Mid-State Conference) had another uneven performance, allowing 48 points by halftime to trail by 25.
Last week the team allowed a season-worst 52 first-half points in an 83-41 loss to Section 6AA foe Pierz.
Crosby-Ironton outplayed the Cardinals in just about every facet of the game.
Freshman Daniel Hudrlik did a little bit of everything for the Rangers (12-7, 5-3), scoring 14 points on 6-of-6 shooting, hauling in 11 rebounds, blocking shots and getting into the S-M passing lanes.
Where the Cardinals were anxious offensively, rushing passes and caving under the Crosby-Ironton pressure half-court trap defense, the Rangers were meticulous and patient.
The Goodwin brothers — Will and Jacob — combined for six 3s. All five of the C-I starters scored at least eight points.
Grant Longbella paced the Cardinals, who have now lost 12 of the last 13 to Crosby-Ironton, with 10. Brian Huber added eight.
Up next: Pelican Rapids (15-3) Saturday, Feb. 4.

CROSBY-IRONTON — 72
Will Goodwin 16, Daniel Hudrlik 14, Caleb Baker 10, Michael Hoge 10, Jacob Goodwin 8, Jordaan Reynolds 7, Garrett Van Horn 7

STAPLES-MOTLEY — 41
Grant Longbella 10, Brian Huber 8, Jordan Wick 6, Seth Auger 5, Shane Suess 4, Dennis Vasquez 4, Zach Borders 4
