Wildcats Use Late Run to Knock Off Titans

ALPENA, MI - The Alpena Boys Basketball team went on a 16-0 run in the Fourth Quarter to earn a crucial Big North Conference victory over Traverse City West, 58-50, on Friday night.  The Titans lead the Wildcats 46-39 with 5:24 remaining in the game.  Bruz Copping sparked the comeback with four free throws, a jumper, and a lay-up to give the Wildcats the 47-46 lead.  Chris DeRocher, who finished with 21 points, converted a three-point play then found Copping for his 10th point in just under two minutes.  In all, the Wildcats outscored the Titans 19-4 over the final 5:24 of the game.  This was the first victory over TC West for Alpena since 2014, and the win pulls the Wildcats to a first-place tie with Petoskey at 3-1 in the BNC.  The Wildcats (8-1, 3-1 BNC) travel to Bay City Western on Monday night.  Alpena defeated the Warriors, 70-26, back on November 27.
