BEMIDJI -- In the late 8A east game on Thursday at Bemidji High School, Blackduck fell to Win-E-Mac 74-39.

The No. 3-seeded Patriots (22-6) overpowered the No. 6-seeded Drakes (6-21) early on to take a 52-18 halftime lead.

“Obviously Win-E-Mac is a great team and I would have liked if we took care of the ball just a little bit better but that’s been a struggle of ours,” Blackduck head coach Adam Ziegler said. “Our guards are really young so it was a bit of a struggle again tonight. They’re a great team though. Hats off to them.”

Isaac Volk put up 15 points to lead the Drakes.

Win-E-Mac 74, Blackduck 39

BHS 18 21 -- 39
