Pinconning deserved their 60-53 victory over their up north rivals by hitting 10-of-12 free throws in the fourth quarter, including four straight by Andrew Holbrook in the final 17 seconds to seal it.

Pinconning finished 19-of-31 at the line, while the Panthers who have lost more than one game this season on the free throw line were 2-for-6 in the quarter and 10-of-21 for the night at the line.

The Spartans are (7-2, 3-2 NEMC) while Standish-Sterling is (6-4, 4-2).

Brandon Delgado led the Spartans with 19 and Holbrook knocked down 15 including the clutch free throws down the stretch while Kevin Goretcki led Standish with 12.
