The home gym had a festive air Friday (12/4) as the MACA boys took care of business with an 80-63 win. It was the third triumph for coach Mark Torgerson's boys. We had to overcome the offensive prowess of ACGC Falcon Colton Minnick. Minnick accounted for 32 of his team's points, plus he pulled down seven rebounds.
But MACA had plenty of firepower to overcome Minnick and his mates. That firepower was led by Eric Staebler who scored 28 points and collected 16 rebounds. He added seven steals to the mix. The MACA weapons caused momentum to grow in the second half.
Lukus Manska connected three times from three-point range. Sean Amundson made two long-rangers, and Robert Rohloff and Jacob Zosel made one each. Zosel was tops in assists with five, followed by Rohloff and Amundson each with four. Staebler with his seven steals was followed by Amundson with three.
Here's how the scoring broke down: Staebler (28), Zosel (17), Manska (13), Rohloff (12) and Amundson (10).
Minnick made ACGC's only three-pointer. He obviously dominated the scoring department. One other Falcon scored in double figures: Adam Johnson with 12 points. Minnick snared seven rebounds. Erik Belgum had four assists, and Gabe Eisenbacher had two steals. ACGC came out of the game with a 2-2 record.
