Not too long ago, Park High School basketball coach Scott Rosberg did a little tweeking to what the Rangers were doing on defense.

“We really wanted to focus more on our man-to-man defense, play with more intensity on defense, and apply better pressure,” said the third-year coach.

The changes are working.

Saturday, Park not only avenged a late-December, three-point loss to Townsend with its 69-57 victory, but the Rangers also won their second-straight game.

“I don’t know if you’d call it a winning streak yet, but we are improving,” said Rosberg of Park, which also defeated Three Forks last Tuesday.

Early on, Townsend stuck right with the Rangers and even led 19-14 at the end of the first quarter.

But in the second, it was all Rangers.

Sparked by 13 second-quarter points from senior all-stater Marcus Payne, Park outscored the Bulldogs 29-13 for a 43-27 lead at halftime.

In the third quarter, Park was back at it as Ranger Daniel Fowlie scored six points to help Park increase its lead to 60-38 entering the fourth.

Down the stretch, Townsend rallied, trimming the lead to nine points midway through the quarter, but it was as close as the Bulldogs would get.

“We didn’t panic,” said Rosberg. “We did enough to keep the lead.”

Payne led all scorers in the game with 25 points, and added 11 rebounds; Ladan Ricketts chipped in 12 points, five rebounds, four steals and two assists; Fowlie finished with six points and five rebounds; and Caleb Gable had five assists.

“It was a good team win,” said Rosberg. “Most importantly, our defensive intensity was good. We limited them on the offensive boards and also didn’t turn the ball over.

Park returns to the hardwood against  back-to-back ranked teams in nonconference Dillon and nonleague Butte Central.

The Rangers are 0-1 against Butte Central and have yet to play Dillon.

With Saturday’s win, the Rangers are 3-9 on the season.
