In the semi final contest Osmond came out right firing right away, seeing made 3 pointers from Alex Kumm and Tristan Maertins on the Tigers’ first 2 possessions. The Indians would bounce back, grabbing the lead and extending it to 10 points at 17-7 before Osmond settled in and began going back and forth with Winnebago. The 2nd quarter was one the Tigers wished they could duplicate, holding their opposition to just 9 points while tallying 15 of their own and taking the lead at a couple different moments throughout the quarter. However, the 3rd quarter would prove to be the difference in this contest; watching a 2 point halftime deficit balloon to 16 points as the Tigers headed into the 4th. Osmond showed no quit during the 4th quarter, once again going back and forth with Winnebago during the final 8 minutes. Osmond was led in scoring by a pair of 19 point scoring nights from Alex Kumm and Keaton Timmerman. Drew Krienert also reached double digits, efficiently scoring 11 points. “I was extremely proud of how our guys handled themselves before, during, and after the game,” commented Coach Schulze. “We proved we could hang with one of the best teams in the state and will take what we’ve gained from this game to help us have a strong finish to our season.”
