Wynot got off to a fast start in this game. Devin Brummer led the way by hitting a pair of threepointers.
“They played much faster than we did. They brought it and we were late to the party,” said Cedar coach Nick Haselhorst. “Our focus and intensity showed up in the fourth, but credit to Wynot, they deserved to win, they out-worked us and brought the fight and intensity.”
Killian Steinhaus connected for two regular baskets and four other players hit a basket, as the Blue Devils lead 18-12 after one quarter. Cedar was paced by Nolan Becker’s five points, and a trey each by Aaron Wortmann and Jaymison Cattau.
