The new year is starting out well for coach Mark Torgerson's crew. Success came by a 57-47 score on Friday. the opponent was from "across the border": Milbank SD.
MACA fans could comfortably stay at home to watch this contest at our own gym, and not have to deal with the troublesome weather elements of late. The governor called off school for today (Mon., Jan. 6).
Another home game is slated for Tuesday with Minnewaska Area set to visit.
Against Milbank the Tigers made half of their three-point shot tries: four of eight. Noah Grove had two of the long-range shot successes, while Jordan Arbach and Jacob Zosel each had one.
In total field goals the Tigers were 19 of 45. In freethrows the Tigers were very sharp with 15 of 20 stats.

Zosel was sharp passing the ball, finishing with five assists. Andrew Goulet and Staebler each had two steals.
The Tigers executed well from game's start and led 28-15 at halftime.
Milbank struggled shooting, making just three of 15 three-point shot tries, and going 21 of 57 overall. "Cold" describes their freethrow shooting too: just two of 12.
