Boys' Hoops Soar Over the Eagles.

December 21, 2007

Spartans outmatch the Eagles in 75 - 29 romp.
by Philip Karlberg

    The TJ boys' basketball squad dominated the Evangelical Christian Eagles by a decisive 45 points on Tuesday night.
    The outcome of the match-up was foreshadowed at the end of the first quarter, when TJ had 17 points to the Eagles 7.  The second quarter only got better for the Spartans, putting 19 more points on the board for a half-time score of 36 to 15.  The second half was more of the same with the guys making an impressive 21 points in the third and 18 in the fourth.  The overall outcome was very one-sided ending in a final score of 75 to 29.
    The Spartan shooting game was hot all through the match-up; thirty of their points came from outside the three point arc.  TJ's game only got better as the guys picked up their energy as the game progressed into the second half.  According to Sophomore Billy Sprague, "The steals accomplished in the third quarter on defense lead to a better offense." 
    With a 7-1 record, the Spartans have showed that they are a real powerhouse in the 4A league.  If they can keep up the stunning performance they have shown so far they will be in strong contention for another state championship.
