Menagha wins defensive battle against Osakis
It was a defensive game between in the Osakis-Menagha game on Friday, and Menagha edged out a 38-28 win on Osakis’ floor.
“This was a tough game offensively for us,” Osakis head coach Pat Kalpin said. “Menahga played solid defense all night which made it tough for us to get good looks, When we did get good looks, we didn't knock the shots down. The girls played a very good game on the defensive end, only giving up 38 points and most of the time, that's good enough to win. Our offensive performance did not match our defensive performance. It wasn't a lack of effort, we simply did not execute like we are capable of, but give credit to Menahga, they made things difficult for us. Games like this help our team learn and grow to get better for the next game."
Menagha held Osakis to 14 points in each half.
