PETOSKEY, MI - The Alpena Boys Basketball team struggled in the 4th quarter offensively as Petoskey pulled away for a 64-52 victory on Wednesday night. In a game that went back and forth, the Northmen locked down defensively and converted their free throw opportunities to pull away late. Alpena took a 47-45 lead early in the 4th quarter when Chris DeRocher converted an old fashioned three-point play. Petoskey's Gabe Whitmore hit a three-pointer with 5-minutes to play to give them a 51-47 lead. Whitmore and Jade Spurgeon combined to go 10-for-10 from the free throw line to help the Northmen put the game away. Chris DeRocher led the Wildcats with 21-points and Jadon Duncan added nine points. The Wildcats (16-3, 6-3 BNC) host Traverse City Central on Friday night to wrap-up the regular season.
