St Albert At Kuemper
Kuemper 62
St Albert 56
Kuemper got early buckets from Nate Overmohle, Dawson Gifford and Isaac Evans as they built an early lead on St Albert. The Knights led 19-10 after the 1st quarter, thanks in part to their ability to pound the ball inside with Evans and DJ Vonnahme. Those two and Dawson Gifford did a nice job attacking the rim and getting Alex Gast into foul trouble. That opened things up in the lane as Kuemper struggled to knock down outside shots. They finished 2-19 from three and hit 21-39 from the free throw line.
Defensively they played well in the 1st half, forcing the Falcons to force shots. DJ Vonnahme fed Isaac Evans for a bucket early in the 2nd quarter and Kuemper was off and running. They built a 43-28 lead late in the half, but St Albert closed the half with 4 straight and the lead was 11 at half.
DJ Vonnahme found Isaac Evans again to start the 2nd half to put Kuemper up 45-32. The lead didn’t last long as St Albert fought back, cutting the deficit to 46-43 late in the 3rd quarter. Carson Kanne only made one basket, but he hit a crucial three that stemmed the tide and put Kuemper up 49-43. The lead was 51-47 heading into the 4th quarter. Kuemper never gave up the lead though St Albert pulled within 52-49. DJ Vonnahme sparked the Knights with a bucket and an assist to Isaac Evans and Kuemper was back up 56-49. The Falcons cut the lead to four twice in the final couple minutes, but Dawson Gifford hit free throws down the stretch, finishing 10-12 for the game.
Dawson Gifford and Isaac Evans each had 17 points with Evans adding 9 rebounds and Gifford 11 rebounds and 5 steals. DJ Vonnahme had 13 points along with 10 rebounds and 6 assists. Evan Adams added 8 rebounds off the bench and Nate Overmohle had 7 rebounds.
