The Stephen-Argyle Storm boys basketball players had taken some lopsided losses the last couple of years, but this group of players has worked hard, stuck together through thick and thin. The Storm has shown the team’s character this season by coming out and winning all four games so far, including a 61-36 victory over the short-handed Sacred Heart Eagles in a game played in Stephen. Sacred Heart was without starters Sam Gapp and Carmello Rojas and top reserve Tucker Pederson because of injuries.
FIRST HALF
The game was pretty much decided in the first nine minutes of the game as Stephen-Argyle came out strong on the defensive end while they scored the first 12 points of the game. Colten Pagnac started the scoring with a basket a minute into the game. Brandon Kroll added four straight points in a 30-second span before Jason Lindgren scored. The Storm kept going and Kroll added another basket and Kole Szczepanski finished the run two points for a 12-0 lead with 10 minutes left in the half.
Sacred Heart’s Kobe Tomkinson scored the first points of the game with 9:42 left, but it didn’t phase Stephen-Argyle as they went on a 16-1 run that was started by five straight points from Lindgren. After a Sacred Heart free throw, Colin McGregor had five straight points, Pagnac added a three, and Kroll added another three-pointer for a 28-3 lead with 4:35 left in the half.
Stephen-Argyle took a 33-9 lead into halftime.
SECOND HALF
Stephen-Argyle had a good start to the second half while scoring the first four points. The teams played even the rest of the way and Sacred Heart’s Tomkinson kept playing hard and scored 11 second-half points, while Isaac Zavoral chipped in eight second-half points, but the damage was done in the first half and Stephen-Argyle coasted to a 61-36 victory.
Stephen-Argyle improves to 4-0 on the year and will take on Warren-Alvarado-Oslo on Tuesday. Sacred Heart drops to 1-4 on the year and will travel to Climax-Fisher on Monday.
