Pipestone County Star ·

2026/01/17

Senior Pipestone Area Schools’ boys basketball players Austin Musch and Cayden Zephier worked a nifty play inside the paint yielding two points. That gave the Arrows a 27-10 lead with 9:02 remaining in the first half. And PAS was well on its way to earning a 74-56 victory over Windom Area in Big South Conference play on Friday, Jan. 9, at PAS Gymnasium.

Pipestone Area Schools’ lead had dwindled to 61-59 in this competitive Big South Conference girls basketball contest.
