GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - Christian Kvilvang went the length of the floor and hit a driving jumper as time ran out Thursday and North Star beat Beulah 52-50 in the first round of the North Dakota Class B boys basketball tournament.
Kvilvang finished with 24 points for the Bearcats (18-7), who snapped Beulah’s 16-game winning streak.
The Miners (19-6) had tied the game on Cole Messerschmidt’s 3-pointer with 9 seconds to play. But Kvilvang took the inbound pass and weaved his way into the lane where he banked in a jumper. Kvilvang also had six rebounds.
