 It's been a shaky start to the season for the Brainerd Boys basketball team. Heading into an afternoon matchup with Elk River, the Warriors set two and five and losers of three straight. They look to make an end to that skid against the Elks today. We'll take it to the first half. Warriors jumped out to a 10-5 lead. Here's Brandon Bergerff with the help of Mike Beganick to get the basket. Next, it's Michael Russell with the lap under the basket for another two. Then it's Russell again. He knocks down the outside shot from the wing. His lead followed by Joey Sauer. He hits a three bucket of his own nearly from the same spot, but Elk River takes the first half leading 29-27. They win the night by a final of 80 to 55. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
