Sailors run into trouble

ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- It didn’t take big and physical Suak Rapids

High too long to figure out how to deal with Newport Harbor in the

first round of the St. Cloud Tournament Thursday as it used its big

front line (6-9, 6-5, 6-6) to an advantage, especially in lieu of the

fact it was able to get Newport Harbor’s 6-foot-8 Nedim Pajevic into

foul trouble.

As a result the Sailors of Newport Harbor were dealt a 58-50 loss

and are in the consolation round today at 2:30 p.m. against Mahtomedi

High.

Pajevic picked up two quick fouls in the third quarter for his

third and fourth personals, forcing him to the bench. He returned

late in the third quarter and fouled out with 3:00 left.
