Farmington slid into the post-season with a 48-39 Missota Conference loss to Red Wing Friday, March 4, in Red Wing. The defeat was the fifth straight for the Tigers who finished the regular season 9-17 overall and 3-11 in the conference.
The game followed a familiar pattern for the Tigers who trailed just 26-22 at intermission but managed just 17 points over the final 18 minutes.
Seniors Alex Michels and Sebren Baer accounted for almost two-thirds of the Farmington offense, finishing with 14 and 10 points respectively. Junior guard Austin Bassett added eight.
Center Isaac Sevlie led the Wingers with 13 points.
Even with the late season slide, the Tigers managed to draw the No. 4 seed for the Section 1AA tournament. Farmington will host fifth-seeded Northfield Wednesday, Mar. 9, in the quarterfinal round with the winner playing at top-seeded Owatonna on Saturday.
Tip-off for Wednesday's match-up with Northfield is 7:00 p.m. at Tiger Gym.
