By Peyton Brunckhorst
The Pierce boys basketball team traveled to Wayne for sub-districts on Tuesday, February 25, but fell short with a score of 41-22.
“The game did not turn out the way we wanted. Wayne has a really good defense, and we just could not find a good way to attack it. It has been weird being the only kid in my class to play basketball, but I got used to it this year. I will never forget the memories I made on this team, and I would not want it any other way,” Payton Cederburg said.
