Prep roundup: Ribel drops 34 as Traverse City Central pushes win streak to 3; Boyne City, Gaylord St. Mary reach 10-win mark

Jan. 21—PETOSKEY — Anthony Ribel finished a point shy of his career high as he and the Traverse City Central Trojans traveled to Petoskey and left with a victory Friday night.

TC Central nabbed a conference road win, topping Petoskey by a 72-59 final after jumping out to a 25-10 lead after the first quarter. The Trojans led 39-27 at the break and staved off the Northmen's comeback attempt in the third and fourth to secure the W.

Ribel finished with 34 points, six rebounds and four assists. Jack Hogan had 13 points, Miles Smith had 10, and Landen Miller had nine points that included his first slam dunk to go along with nine boards. Bradyen Halliday led the Trojans in steals with four.

The Trojans (5-7, 3-1 Big North) rode into town Friday after winning back-to-back games on the heels of a four-game losing streak. They play two home nonconference games over the next four days as they take on East Grand Rapids on Saturday and then Ludington on Tuesday. Central returns to Big North play at Traverse City West on Feb. 3.

Petoskey was led by Cade Trudeau and his 23 points. Jimmy Marshall and Shane Izzard were also in double figures for Petoskey, scoring 15 and 11 points, respectively.

The Northmen (8-4, 3-2 Big North) found themselves just outside of the first Michigan Associated Press boys basketball rankings but are No. 8 in Division 1 in the latest MHSAA power ratings. Petoskey got back on the winning side with a victory over Traverse City West on Tuesday after suffering two straight losses. The Northmen battle the Titans again on Thursday before taking part in the Cadillac Showcase on Jan. 28.
