The Knights, who have lost two games by two points or less, are 1-4 this season and faced Fulda Saturday in the consolation game.

GLENVILLE &8212; Glenville-Emmons fell to Blooming Prairie Friday night 84-37.

Freshman Ryan Dempewolf led the Wolverines (1-7) with 12 points on four 3-pointers. Garret Schumaker scored six points and had three steals. Landon Hall led the team with nine rebounds, all in the second half. The Blossoms led 46-23 at halftime.

&8220;We need to find an identity,&8221; coach Dan Fredrickson said. &8220;We&8217;re forcing too many 3-point shots, and any time you play a really good team the flaws become magnified.&8221;
