BROOKVILLE 52, DUBOIS 30
BROOKVILLE, Pa. – Denying DuBois a chance at sharing the D9 League title with Elk County Catholic, Brookville played the spoiler’s role in a 52-30 rout of the visiting Beavers.
The Raiders led for good less than two minutes into the game and pulled away with the win, which also secured themselves the top seed in the three-team Class 3A playoffs with Moniteau and Kane. Jace Miner and Jack Krug scored 19 and 14 points respectively.
The Raiders led 15-12 after the first quarter, 25-16 at halftime, 39-24 after the third quarter and their largest lead came in the fourth quarter at 50-24 with 2:28 left after a Raiders 11-0 run to start the quarter. During that run, Miner turned a steal into a dunk at the 4:51 mark.
Brookville limited DuBois to its lowest point total in over seven years and limited the Beavers to just 34 percent (12-for-35) shooting. The Beavers were just 1-for-8 from the foul line and committed 16 turnovers.
Lennon Lindholm led the Beavers with nine points. Chooch Husted scored eight points off the bench and leading scorer Chase Husted was limited to a season-low five points on 2-for-6 shooting from the field and 1-for-5 from the line. He led all rebounders with 10.
