The MACA boys stayed busy during the holidays with an appearance in the St.
James Invite. The Tigers achieved their first win of the season. This came
Saturday (12/28) in the third place game, by a score of 54-42 over Springfield.
On the day before, the Tigers were stopped in an 80-52 final by Rockford.
Coach Mark Torgerson's squad aims to spring into the new year with a feeling of
momentum.
Noah Grove poured in 21 points in the Saturday success vs. Springfield.
Eric Staebler achieved a double-double with 12 points and 18 rebounds.
The big story of this game was the Tigers' second half comeback. They might
have been downcast at halftime, trailing 25-14. They were actually quite
undaunted. They sprang onto the court to outscore Springfield 40-17 in the
second half.
Wow!
The Tigers made a fourth of their three-point shot tries: four of 16. Grove
had three of those successes and Jacob Zosel the other. In total field goals the
Tigers made 20 of 62 shots. The freethrow numbers: 10 of 14.
Staebler vacuumed the boards for 18 rebounds. Bryce Jergenson added five
rebounds, and he was the assist leader with three. Andrew Goulet performed three
steals.
Here's the scoring list: Grove 21, Staebler 12, Zosel 11, Jordan Arbach 4,
Goulet 4 and Jergenson 2. Tyler Vogel was Springfield's top scorer with 15
points.
The 12/27 story: loss to Rockford

Friday, Dec. 27. Staebler also picked up six rebounds.
The outcome seemed pretty sealed at halftime with the score 44-28. Brock
Deering was a major force for Rockford with his 29 points. Jeremiah Bingham
scored 13 points and Brandon Schumacher 12.
Rockford made four 3-pointers while MACA had two such successes. Jacob

field goals. In freethrows: 14 of 23.

points on this night. Zosel's point total was eight. Jordan Arbach scored four,
followed by these Tigers each with two: Trent Wulf, Bryce Jergenson, Andrew
