Boys
A promising halftime lead for the Goessel boys evaporated in a third-quarter scoring drought that allowed the Bombers to surge to a 37-25 win.
Goessel was on top 12-8 at the end of a low-scoring first half, but the Bluebirds faltered after the break, scoring just 2 points in the third quarter.
Dylan Lindeman and Rhett Makovec each scored 6 points for Goessel.
The boys are 2-4 overall and 0-2 in WSL.
Both teams will play Solomon at home Friday, and won’t have another home date until Little River comes calling Jan. 30.
