Lakeland gets best of Tomahawk
by Daily News Sports
The Lakeland boys' basketball team advanced to Thursday's Division 2 regional semifinals with a 59-47 win over Tomahawk on Tuesday in Minocqua.
The T-Birds were led in scoring by junior Billy Kuchler with 19 points, followed by Danny Fossen with 13 points and Joseph Lyons, who finished with seven points in the victory.
Brock Roberts scored a game-high 21 points for the Hatchets after being held to just four points through the first two quarters.
The senior guard hit four 3-point shots in the third quarter and went 5-of-8 from the line in the losing effort.
Tomahawk also got 13 points from sophomore Jacob Jarvensivu and senior forward Keegan Kahn had six of his eight points in the final quarter.
The Hatchets shot 6-of-11 from the floor, while the T-Birds were an just 5-of-16.
But Lakeland countered that with 12-of-19 from behind the three point arc while Tomahawk hit 7-of-16.
Lakeland led throughout with a 15-7 advantage after one quarter and 28-19 at the half.
Despite Roberts scoring attack in the third quarter for Tomahawk--who end with a 1-20 overall record--the Hatchets still trailed 42-34 before falling by a 59-47 final.
Lakeland improves to 14-7 and will play the winner of last night's Northland Pines/Neilsville game on Thursday with the location to be determined.

Football team appreciates support of the community
Parents, grandparents, uncles, families and friends, local businesses and Hodag football supporters: Due to your generosity our locker room pledge drive was a great success. Our goal was to raise $8,000 to $10,000 to purchase 40 lockers for our varsity locker room. We crushed this goal and raised enough money to purchase 100 lockers and the ability to have every male athlete in a new locker. These new lockers will allow us to secure our valuable equipment. In addition and I believe more important is that it shows our kids we care and will make the locker room less stressful. This facility has needed this improvement for three decades and you made it happen. Personally, I can not thank you enough for giving us the opportunity make this improvement for our students.
