Besides giving up the opening basket right from the jump, and being down very early in the first half, the Forest Lake boys basketball team (16-7, 8-5) controlled the tempo, mood and score in its 76-64 victory over Cretin-Derham Hall.

The Raiders entered Tuesday's contest ranked No. 3 in the polls, but on their home court, an extremely confident and well-coached Ranger squad looked like the superior team.

Brad Kopp (above) led Forest Lake in scoring with 24 points, and the Rangers were able to secure the victory by going 24-for-32 from the free throw line.

Head coach Dan Cremisino and his crew put their six-game winning streak up against visiting Park (7-16, 3-10) on Friday night.
