Game Story: Winning Streak Ends at Four

The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Men's Basketball team's four game winning streak came to an end Saturday night as they were defeated by Vermilion 78-77.

Anoka-Ramsey fell behind early but fought their way back to take a 40-39 lead into the half.  The Golden Rams immediately opened with a five point burst to take a 45-39 lead five minutes into the second half.  However, Vermilion went on a 20-3 run over the next five minutes to open a 59-48 lead. 

Vermilion extended their lead to 12 at 64-52, but the Golden Rams staged an impressive comeback to take the lead 77-76 on a backdoor layup by Jamar Franks with 12 seconds remaining.  Vermilion elected to not call a timeout and hit a runner in the lane with 4.8 seconds remaining to regain the lead 78-77.

After a couple timeouts, the Golden Rams had one final chance, but were unable to get a shot up, even though they got the ball within five feet of the basket.

Trey Scott lead all scorers with 26 points on 11-14 shooting, including three three's.  Franks finished the game with 15 points on 7-13 shooting.  Dan Konz and Matt Fridberg each chipped in with eight points.

Anoka-Ramsey falls to 5-3 on the season.  They travel to Virginia, MN to take on Mesabi Range Community and Technical College on Saturday, December 11 at 3:00pm.
