ST. JOSEPH — Michigan Lutheran's Micah Herbst was the one player who found his shot in a Division 4 boys basketball district game otherwise dominated by defense.
Herbst led the Titans to a 39-32 victory over district host and arch rival Our Lady of the Lake on Monday, scoring 17 points and making five 3-pointers. He was the only player on either team to connect from beyond the arc.
