BELMONT - Monticello's Bryce Klitzke and Juda's Cole Bauman were a lethal one-two punch in propelling the East to a 91-75 win over the West in the eighth annual Six Rivers All-Star game Friday, June 28.
Klitzke scored a game-high 24 points and Bauman added 21 points to lead the East to the win. The East hit nine 3-pointers. Barneveld's Devon Schult scored 18 points and hit four 3-pointers and Black Hawk's Merik Meythaler (12 points) made three 3-pointers. The East battled back from a five-point halftime deficit. The East outscored the West 47-32 in the second half.
"This game is supposed to be fun," Black Hawk coach Corey Manlick said, who coached the East All-Stars. "My message to them was to have fun because this was the last time they laced up their shoes in a competitive game. They rallied around each other. They wanted to prove the East was stronger."
Juda's Kade Allen scored five points in a key stretch in the third quarter.
"He had a height advantage and played through some contact to finish," Manlick said of Allen. "He sparked us. Every kid had a good performance whether it was getting a loose ball or an offensive or defensive board."
Black Hawk girls basketball coach Mike Flanagan, who helped coach the East girls' team with Monticello coach Lori Brokopp, said the games raised $1,108.25 for the American Family Children's Hospital in Madison.
"It's always great to get to coach these players," Flanagan said. "We have raised about $11,000 now. It's also neat to get to coach with (Brokopp). She is an up-and-coming coach."
In the girls game, the West defeated the East 58-49 for the second straight year. The East is 6-2 in all-star games. Potosi's Tiffany Langmeier scored a game-high 21 points which tied the single game scoring record set by Albany's Amy Golz in 2008.
Barneveld's Madi Laube scored a team-high 16 points to lead the East. Argyle's Kayla Ostby scored 10 points and Black Hawk's Abby Schiferl added nine points.
The East trailed just 26-23 at the half and were down 42-36 entering the fourth quarter. The East shot just 7-of-32 at the free throw line.
"It was just an atrocious free throw night," Flanagan said. "We certainly took enough free throws that we could have been right there. That happens. They haven't been playing or practicing. (The West) made their free throws down the stretch. We could never get the stop and the score we needed."
