OSSEO TOOK ON BUFFALO IN A BOYS’ BASKETBALL CONTEST


The Osseo Orioles traveled to Buffalo High School for a nonconference boys’ basketball game. It was the first game for Osseo.


Osseo started in a zone defense. On the offensive end they looked to push the ball down the court.


Osseo used a full court press. They also applied a lot of pressure on Buffalo. Buffalo did a good job boxing out Osseo on both ends of the floor.


Ross Miller for Osseo came off the bench and provided an offensive spark. He was all over the floor on both ends of the court.


With 13:56 left to go in the first half the score was Osseo 8 and Buffalo 1.


Buffalo didn’t back down to Osseo. They kept on trying to get shots up.


Terez VanPelt was very aggressive on the offensive end. He knew where he was supposed to be on the floor. He did a good job of directing his teammates on the court.


With 10:52 left to go in the first half the score was Osseo 16 and Buffalo 3.


Buffalo went on a run after the timeout. Osseo was not able to slow them down.


Darren James Hurbert made some nice shots throughout the first half for Osseo. He played aggressively on the defensive end, making it hard for the Buffalo players to score.


Ross Miller knocked down some nice three-point shots in the first half.


At halftime the score was Osseo 32 and Buffalo 22.


As the second half got underway Osseo continued to pressure the ball.


Buffalo looked to get back into the game. They continued to shoot three-point shots.


Ian Theisen found his three-point shot in the second half. He was able to make them.


The game went back and forth in the second half. Buffalo was able to make a run at Osseo. Osseo was able to slow the Buffalo run down. Osseo stepped up the intensity on both ends of the court.


Osseo took their time on the offensive end. They were able to get the shots that they wanted to take. Terez VanPelt did a good job of leading the offense in the second half.


Buffalo was not able to find their shots in the second half. They went cold late in the game.


Osseo was able to come away with the 63-43 victory over Buffalo.


I thought that Osseo played well throughout the game. I was impressed by the play of Terez VanPelt and D. J Herbert. I also thought Joey Sonnenfeld played well. Ian Theisn also impressed me by his play. Both teams went hard at each other. Keenan Brown from Buffalo played well throughout the game.
