Storm Lake at Carroll
Carroll 71
Storm Lake 41
The Carroll Tigers picked up a large win over a tall and lanky Storm Lake squad Saturday evening to improve to 3-1 overall on the season.
The Tigers started off with an electrifying start to the contest with a 9-0 scoring run that soon led to them leading 25-10 at the beginning of the second quarter. Evan Hammer got off to a great start with 10 points scored in that first quarter, with Nick Macke giving him some good support with a three pointer and five points scored. Storm Lake started to come back a bit in the second quarter behind the scoring of Sam Devergsten and Sam Slight. Carroll still won the second quarter scoring at 16-14 and held on to a strong 41-24 lead at halftime.
The Tornadoes started off with a zone defense in the first half, but when they switched to a man-on-man approach, the Tigers had some issues adjusting. The Tiger and Tornadoes both scored nine points in the third quarter, the lowest scoring quarter for either team up to that point. Carroll had difficulties finding passing lanes and only grabbed a single three pointer thanks to Bryce Berlau. The fourth quarter was another sluggish start for the Tigers, but they started to pick up the pace with the 50-33 lead. Ethan Langeling hit another three pointer for Carroll as did Berlau. Those two shots along with some strong performances from the Tiger bench solidified the quarter for the Tigers as they’d go 21-8 in the final quarter and take a 71-41 victory home with them over Storm Lake.
Five different Carroll players got into double digit points on the night. Evan Hammer led the team with 12 points, Nick Macke, Ethan Langeling, and Caden Kock all had 11 points, and Kaleb Booth added 10 points to the Tigers total. Carroll will improve to 3-1 overall on the season and will be on the road on Tuesday, December 14th to take on Winterset to start off their week of competition.

Van Meter at Kuemper
Van Meter 67
Kuemper 50
Kuemper held on to their close lead going into halftime against Van Meter, but the Bulldogs ended up getting the better of the Knights in Saturday’s match up.
Michael Pottebaum kept the offense for Keumper up going into the second quarter as he hit a big three pointer with 15 second left in the first quarter. Van Meter brought back a strong core of players from the previous season, so the Knights had to keep up with a strong Bulldog team. The Knights did just that as they matched Van Meter at eight points each going into the second quarter. Kuemper started off the second quarter with a 5-0 scoring run that got them up 13-8. Both offenses started to come alive after that lengthy run from Kuemper, but it was the Knights who held onto their new lead at 28-24 at halftime. Both Michaels for Kuemper, Pottabum and Kasperbauer, sparked the Knight’s offense with a pair of threes each as Kasperbauer led the team in the first half with seven points.
To start off the second half, Van Meter woke up from a long scoring drought to take the lead over Kuemper and win the third quarter easily at 20-9, leading 44-37 going into the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs continued to ride their new wave of momentum into the fourth quarter as they once again outscored the Knights 23-13 and pulled away in the second half with not only the lead but the overall game; Bulldogs won with a final score of 67-50.

Audubon Vs Central Decatur At Wells Fargo Arena
Central Decatur 50

Audubon nearly battled back in the 4th quarter after falling behind 12 midway through the 4th quarter. The Wheelers cut the deficit to 48-43 on a beautiful catch and shoot by Jackson Deist of a perfect lob pass. The Wheelers had some momentum at that point but there was just over a minute left in regulation and Central Decatur was able to get a couple stops, holding on for the win.

Audubon never led in the game but tied the game at 6 on a Gavin Smith layup as the Wheelers battled back from down 6-2. They were able to establish Edward Miller inside during the opening half.
Central Decatur outshot the Wheelers from beyond the arc, outscoring the Wheelers 21-6. That made up for the free throw line where Audubon went 13-15 helping the Wheelers to outscore the Cardinals by 10 points. Back-to-back 3’s in the 1st half after the Wheelers tied the game at 6 opened the Cardinals to gain control, building a 11-point lead in the 1st half.
