The Path to State
game in Solon on Saturday eve-
ning, February 23, rolling out to
a 24-11 first-quarter lead on their
way to a dominating 68-55 win.
"That's just hard work and
dedication. Not just tonight, but
for four years," said senior leader
Bryan Forbes after the game. "Oh
yah."
Forbes led his team in the game,
netting 39 points in an outstand-
ing shooting performance that
included 6-9 shooting from three-
point range and a flawless 15-15

free-throw shooting effort.
The Lions had to battle a strong
forward from Dunkerton, Kory
Kuenstling, a 6'10" junior who av-
eraged nearly 16 points per game
for his team.
Kuenstling got 15 points against
Lone Tree to lead his team, but
Forbes said his cousin Logan was
key to the Lions' defensive plan.
"Logan Forbes, plain and sim-
ple," said Forbes. "He's under-
sized but not strength-wise. He
works harder than anyone on the
team. We put him on a guy like
that and that challenges him and
he loves being more physical than
everyone else."
Squiers said his seniors weren't
to be denied.
"I had a sense last night, after
the first quarter against Preston,
the demeanor of those senior,
since the Highland game really,
that if we got past Preston I think
we'd get there."
"It feels great. Any time you go
to Des Moines you feel great. It
doesn't happen that often."
Boyden-Hull 58, Lone Tree 54
Their only losses came from the
undefeated Danville Bears and de-
fending 1A Champions from Boy-
den-Hull, and the Lone Tree boys
finish their 2013 season at 25-2,
after their first-round State Tour-
nament appearance on Monday,
March 4.
Lone Tree head boys basketball
coach Tom Squiers said finishing
the season with losses to the top
ranked team and the defending
champions marks quite an accom-
plishment.
... 2013
"One to the #1 ranked team in
the State and another to the defend-
ing State Champion," said Squi-
ers. "Our kids got nothing to hang
their heads about and I thought we
battled Boyden-Hull tooth and nail
the entire game. It's tough to knock
off a defending State Champion.
They're a great defensive team and
they play man-to-man defense and
they took some things away from
us and that's kind of the story of
the game."
The L-T boys got an early lead,
but then struggled offensively
through the second and third quar-
ters before unleashing 26 points in
the final frame and losing by four,
58-54.
"We struggled quite a bit often-
sively, but I thought Boyden-Hull
was a great defensive team. They
made us work for every point,
every shot that we got," said Squi-
ers after the loss.
Boyden-Hull advanced through
the 1A Tournament, defeating
North Tama, 77-52, and downing
St. Mary's Storm Lake 49-45 in the
finals.
