Haines turns back Wrangell 66-58

Gold Medal B bracket runner-up Haines had their hands full with Wrangell on Monday.

The Merchants could not put the Stikine River boys away as the Thunderbirds, playing their second game in as many days, overcame an early 8-3 Haines run and played to a 38-35 halftime advantage. The Thunderbirds hit seven triples in the half but only one in the second. The Merchants used a series of backdoor cuts if center Ben Egolf could not find post position but lost the battle on the boards in the second half 43-38. Brad Angerman pulled down 11 rebounds for Wrangell and Egolf nine for Haines.
