RONAN - For the Ronan boys' basketball team, the eighth time was the charm as it notched its first Northwestern A victory with a 69-56 win over Whitefish on Tuesday.
With only two points separating Ronan and Whitefish entering the fourth quarter, the Chiefs erupted for 30 points to close out the regular season in style.
"It seems like we've lost a lot of close games because we were missing bunnies and layups," said Ronan assistant coach Bob Neiman. "But they made those layups tonight."
Once the final frame was under way, Ronan employed a pressing defense that created enough easy chances to build a sizeable lead.
Lucas Black and J.J. Tanner scored seven points apiece in the final stanza for Ronan, which improved to 1-7 in league and 8-10 overall.
Although Tanner finished with 16 points, it was Kevin Wroblewski's 18 that led the way for the Chiefs.
Whitefish's (2-5, 10-7) Gage Vasquez tallied a game-high 22 points.
Whitefish 10 16 11 19 - 56
Ronan 11 14 14 30 - 69
WHITEFISH - Mac Roche 9, Kyler Blades 6, Gage Vasquez 22, Cooper Olson 2, Drew Galbraith 12, Jose Sanchez 1, Jace Kalbfleisch 2, Alex Duroche 2.
RONAN - J.J. Tanner 16, Marcus Hungerford 2, Lucas Black 8, Justin Dustybull 11, Kevin Wroblewski 18, Brady Oakland 3, Chris Clary 2, Jackson Jore 6, Gordan Northpeigan 3.
