IRON MOUNTAIN — Iron Mountain drained 17 triples and improved to 18-0 with a 91-63 win over Houghton in non-conference boys basketball Thursday.

Houghton had 10 threes of its own, including six by the game’s high scorer, Brad Simonsen, who finished with 34 points.

The Gremlins, however, had no answer for Iron Mountain’s one-two punch of Marcus Johnson, 33 points and eight assists, and Foster Wonders, 31 points on 7 of 12 beyond the arc.

“Wow, what a game,” said Mountaineers coach Bucky Johnson. “Simonsen can score, but he had to work for his buckets.”

Iron Mountain led 42-24 at halftime and outscored Houghton 24-22 in a third quarter that saw six threes by the Mountaineers — including three from Johnson and two by Ricky Brown — and four by Houghton.

“They play a little different type of defense, too,” Johnson said of the Gremlins. “The kids figured out how to attack it. It was a good win.”
