LITTLE FALLS
The Warriors kept their C-6 record unblemished as they outlasted an aggressive Little Falls team and ended up on top 67-57. Both started fast, but in the second half, the Kellettmen’s superior height and balance overshadowed any rally the Flyers could muster.
CROSBY-IRONTON
Brainerd clinched a first berth in the district by trouncing Crosby-Ironton 60-49 on the latters floor. The Warriors’ small but speedy guards, Chisholm with 17 points, and Adair with 14, proved to be the main factors in subduing the scrappy Rangers.

ST. CLOUD TECH.
Brainerd’s big front line was too much for the small, scrappy, St. Cloud Tech quint to cope with as the Warriors downed the Tigers 66-43, to finish their C-6 record unbeaten. Jim Gum netted 18 points with Jacobson and Speed following closely with 15 apiece.
