In a close and hard fought battle Saturday night at Duluth Denfeld the Proctor Rails season came to an end when the Giants of Mesabi east came back to beat the Rails by five 51-46 to move on the section 7AA semi-finals.

The Rails and the Giants battled back and forth throughout the first half and it was the Giants who took a two points 22-20 lead at the break. The second half continued to go back and forth and it seemed the Rails had things going their way when they took a 44-38 point lead midway through the second half.

The Rails hard work continued on up until the end of the game with the only problem being the Rails went cold from the floor making only one field goal in the last six minutes which allowed the Giants to comeback and pick up the victory in a hard fought contest.
