GRUNDY CENTER - Just three days ago, Charles City knocked off Class 3A No. 1 Clear Lake. <\/p>\n
It was the first loss of the season for Clear Lake and just the seventh win of the year for Charles City. <\/p>\n
But it was a game that was referenced by BCLUW coach Austin Schlatter to his Comets before the squad opened Class 1A District 4 play Monday. <\/p>\n

Runge scored 11 points on the night. <\/p>\n
It was to show the Comets that upsets can happen and do happen. And it helped BCLUW not overlook 2-19 CAL, while also showing the Comets that anything can happen in the postseason moving forward. <\/p>\n
Conner Ubben sidetracked early foul trouble and finished with 16 points, while Cole Silver and Ty Runge both scored 11 and the Comets avoided the first-round upset with an easy 65-32 victory over CAL. <\/p>\n
\"It's pretty nice to win,\" said Ubben. \"You think about G-R in the back of your head before the game but once the game starts you have to kick it out of your mind. You have to take every team seriously.\" <\/p>\n
