The Red Devils basketball team had some tough competition last week against Charlo and Superior. The boys had a 68-23 point defeat against the Charlo Vikings on Thursday. The leading scorer was Ricky Williams with 11 points, Justice Kayser netted four points and Brian Risch, Ian Brown, Aiden Curry and Shane Murray all got a couple of points each.

Noxon came back fiercer on Saturday against Superior losing 64-44. But as far as free throws went, the Red Devils made a phenomenal 82% of their shots and the best of the season thus far. Williams hooped 11 points, Kayser racked up ten points, Murray scored nine, Curry got seven points, Sam Christensen five and Risch came away with four points. Coach Mike Benson said that they are a young team with experience to gain.

"Charlo and Superior came out ready to play with the high intensity that we had seen since the beginning of the season," said Coach Cortney Vohs. The Noxon girls were defeated by Charlo 66-34. As a team they achieved 15 defensive rebounds, 12 offensive rebounds, seven assists and 13 steals. "The girls struggled defensively against Charlo but pulled it together when we played Superior," said Vohs.

The Red Devils lost to Superior 58-37. The third quarter was the toughest point-wise with Superior scoring 20 to Noxon's six points. But Noxon maintained their stamina to lead the fourth quarter 10-6. Emily Brown was the top scorer with 20 points, Seanna Richter racked up seven, Maygan Swanson scored six and Aubrey Erwin and Emma Swanson netted two points each. Noxon will be playing Two Eagle River at home this Thursday and heading to Alberton on Saturday.
