Posen 50, Au Gres 42

Despite trailing for three quarters, the Posen boys basketball team never gave up hope on Wednesday.

Trailing by five points after three quarters, the Vikings shocked Au Gres and outplayed the Wolverines down the stretch to win 50-42.

“Tough defense is what won us the game. Usually when they get down, they’re done,” Posen coach Chris Keller said. “I was happy with the performance and hopefully it gives us some steam heading into homecoming.”

Posen (2-8) trailed 37-32 after three quarters, but outscored the Wolverines 18-5 in the final eight minutes to emerge victorious. Au Gres led 12-7 after one quarter and 26-17 at halftime.

Jared Sharpe led Posen with 15 points and Mark Wisniewski added 15 points and seven rebounds.

“Mark Wisniewski gave us the fire we needed. He and Darren Dubie came out and they just wanted to play,” Keller said.

Dubie, who is 5-9, did a solid job guarding his much taller opponent all night and Wisniewski spurred Posen offensively.

Posen hosts Hale for homecoming on Friday.
