HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Windom's fast start dooms PAS

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/12/21

Remember Pipestone Area Schools’ 2023-24 boys basketball season? The Arrows scored a school-record 114 points in a single game versus Windom, and also tallied 94 during a Section 3AA playoff contest. Even at Windom’s last campaign, PAS put up 89 points on Feb. 8. That’s now a distant memory. The Arrows struggled to find rhythm on offense — and Windom was ahead by as many as 25 points (37-12) — as the Eagles triumphed 80-66 at PAS Gymnasium on Friday evening. “We struggled to match their inten...

2024/12/17

The Pipestone Area-St. Peter boys’ basketball game on Saturday afternoon had a distinct flow to it. Every single time the Arrows would cut the Saints’ lead to five or six points, St. Peter would extend the cushion back to nine. That certainly proved to be a source of frustration. And the Saints earned a hard-fought 91-83 victory over the Arrows at PAS Gymnasium in Big South Conference competition. “We just never were able to step up and make that final stop to push it to a one-score game,” PA...
