SG Basketball: Locked In vs Boise

By Erik Van Dyke
Games like this are why we joined RSEQ Div II in the first place. The opposing teams are always tough, the opposing players work their tails off and are passionate about basketball, and the opposing coaches are smart.

Case in point, when your Spartans once again started quickly, jumping out to an early 11-2 lead, this team from Victoriaville did not panic, and they did not fold. Down 19-7 to start the second quarter, they stuck to their game plan (quick, precise interior passing) and outscored us 10-4 in the frame. That got our attention, and the Red & White came out with renewed intensity to start the second half. But so did Tandem. They met us blow for blow, never backing down. 31-25 for the good guys in the middle of the third quarter. We had ourselves a ball game.

But that was as close as we would let them get, as Stanstead locked in and went on a 12-0 run (with six different players scoring!) that spanned the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth to ice the game. 45-29 final score.

Kudos to the entire team for making it through the past month. 15 games in 24 days. That’s a lot of basketball. But now we’ve got eleven days until we play next. Eleven days to rest up, and prepare for one of the true highlights of the season: the Anderson-Bailly. As defending champions.
