MENOMINEE — A winter blizzard that dumped over a foot of snow postponed the Gladstone boys basketball game against Marinette from Monday night to Tuesday night but when the teams finally took the floor Gladstone defeated Marinette 41-28. The Braves outscored the Marines 23-5 in the second half.

Marinette took a 23-18 lead into the half when everything fell apart for Marinette Marinette opened the third quarter with a pair of free throws by junior Kaden Ducane.

The Braves then went on a 11-0 run to end the third quarter. After Owen Gereau split a pair of free throws, Teagan Reynolds and Alex Prins each had layups to cut the deficit to 25-23. Gereau hit a mid-range jumper and Will Inghram hit a pair of free throws to put the Braves up 27-25. Tre Brunette drove to the basket for a layup to extend the Braves lead to 29-25.

The Braves defense did not allow the Marines to hit a field goal in the third quarter.

“We started off a little slow tonight,” Braves coach Jake Kiesby said. “We played well on defense. In the second half we got stops on defense and that led to some transition baskets and that is credit to our defense.”
