The Holy Family Catholic High School boys basketball team had momentum, lost it, and got it back just in time to nail down a 58-54 win over Bagley in the quarterfinals of the state Class 2A basketball tournament Thursday at Williams Arena.

Pressure: Holy Family's Andy Weingart and Trent Johnson were instrumental in clamping down on Bagley's scorers on Thursday.

The Fire advances to the semifinals to face Luverne, 6 p.m. Friday at Target Center.

Luverne defeated Plainview-Elgin-Millville 61-57 on Thursday afternoon. Defending champion Braham faces Maple River and Pequot Lakes takes on Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop in the other quarterfinal games.

Holy Family came to play in its first-ever state hoopps tournament, jumping out to a 21-8 lead, capped by a slam dunk by Trent Johnson and a three-pointer by Matt Quammen.

Bagley cranked up their rebounding to come back and tie the game 25-25, with 1:30 to go in the first half. Bagley point guard Brodie Camp made a pair of shots to help the Flyers build the 5-point halftime lead.

Holy Family restablished its earlier defensive superiority early in the second half. A John Anderson jumpshot, a pair of driving baskets by Dan Lunsford and a free throw by Dan Loughran knotted the game 35-35. A pair of free throws by Lunsford and a three-pointer by Quammen turned it into a 5-point Fire lead.

Cameron Cain answered a pair of Bagley buckets with driving layups and Quammen sank a jumper and three-point shot for a 52-46 lead with 1:40 to go.

More defense: Holy Family's Matt Quammen defends Bagley's Luke Knutson during Thursday's quarterfinal.

Quammen finished with 18 points, Lunsford scored nine points in the second half to finish with 11 in the game and Andy Weingart netted nine for Holy Family. Johnson had seven points, 11 rebounds and three assists.

Bagley lost its first game of the season, finishing 28-1. The fire moved to 22-7.
