Sturgeon Boys - State Championship game

WOW WOW WOW. All I can say. Sturgeon wins 82-80 in the BEST game I've seen all year. We'll have highlights at 10!

At 3:30 of the game, Sturgeon down now 73-67 thanks to a set of 3s from Jacob Owens and Jordan McGowan

WOW. Taylor Wells singlehandedly keeps the Bulldogs in it - nailing a layup "and one" hitting the FT, then a 3 to give the Bulldogs a short-lived 60-57 lead. But Jacob Owens of Bernie answers with a 3 of his own, and the game stays tied at 6:57 of the 4th quarter.

At the end of the 3rd quarter, Bernie retakes the lead 57-55.

An exciting 1st half of basketball! Sturgeon and Bernie are tied at 40. Here are some stats: Trey Chisholm leads Sturgeon with 12 points and is 3/7 from 3 point land. Domenic Johnson also in double figures with 11 pts. The Bulldogs' Dakota Reeves and Lane Arends both have 3 fouls from a physical 1st half. For Bernie, they have 3 players in double figure scoring - Jake Welch, Jordan McGowan (both with 13) and Jacob Owens (10) having a good first half. Sturgeon seems deeper so far on offense though as 6 of its 8 players have scored. For a stretch in the 2nd quarter the Bulldogs defense smothered the Mules, but Bernie found a way back in. We should have an excellent 2nd half.
