Lions Basketball Vs McNick

The New Richmond Boys Basketball program had a tough night Tuesday playing against McNicholas High School. After taking two tough losses in the Freshman and JV battles, the Varsity came out with a determined state of mind. They were not going to back down to the pressure from a GCL school. Led by Senior Steven Binder, in his return from the IR, the Lions broke McNick's press and tough man to man defense and were trailing 34-32 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The Rockets chose to switch to a zone defense, and the shots against that zone did not fall for the Lions. McNick used a big run at the end of the game to pull away for the win. The varsity team has been scrapping for the last few games and the season turnaround is just around the corner.
