By William
LINDSBORG – It was a rough go in the middle two quarters of the game on Tuesday for the Smoky Valley boys basketball team as they hosted Hutchinson Trinity and lost 52-42.
After being tied at 15-15 at the end of the first quarter, the Vikings only scored two points in the second quarter and took a 10-point deficit at 27-17 going into the halftime break.
Trinity came out and outscored Smoky Valley 15-7 coming out of the break in the third quarter and despite the Vikings outscored Trinity 18-10 in the final eight minutes of play, Trinity hung on for the final 10-point win over Smoky Valley.
On the stat sheet the one glaring difference between the two teams came at the free throw line where Smoky Valley made just 5-8 while Trinity connected on 17 of 26 trips to the charity stripe, including 10-12 by Lucas Hammeke who finished the game with 21 points for Trinity.
Ty Miller and Haven Lysell-Stewart both reached double digit in scoring for the Vikings with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Jake Lucas led the team in rebounds with seven while Lysell-Stewart grabbed six and Kade Blanchat pulled in five. Ryan Heline directed much of the offense as he recorded five assists.
Now 3-7 for the season, the Vikings will travel to Clay Center on Friday.
