Timberwolves Second Half Rally Falls Short Against Kellogg

Petoskey, MI – The Timberwolves (0-6) showed tremendous fight in the second half, outscoring Kellogg CC (5-1) but couldn’t over a large first-half deficit, ultimately falling 77-66.

North Central struggled to find their rhythm early, falling into a 0-16 start on the game. However, the Timberwolves came out energized in the second, pouring in 42 points – three more than Kellogg’s 39.

Ehlert wad deadly from beyond the arc, sinking 4 three-pointer in four consecutive possessions.
