The Luverne boys’ basketball team traveled to Pipestone Friday, Dec. 9, and was defeated 75-57.
“We played a good first half and had a few turnovers that cost us before half,” coach John Sichmeller said.
Luverne fell behind the Arrows at the half 28-35.
“Pipestone was hot from 3 (3-point line) and we couldn’t make enough shots to keep up with them,” Sichmeller said.
The Arrows were 56 percent at the 3-point line, making 10 of 19.
Luverne shot 18 percent at the 3-point line, making three of 16.
