The past weekend Hams contributed five assists
for the lone Cardinals was and four steals to lead the in Kirkland Memorial meet
the tale of two teams. On
Friday, the confident Cards
pulled off a stunning 54-53
upset over #10 Nixyawii
followed by a humbling loss
the next day to a Helix.
F riday night, the
lone gym was humming as
the crowd came to see what
the C ard in als could do
against the streaking Golden
Eagles. From the get-go, the
Cards seemed determined to
not let Nixyawii get away. At
the end of one, lone trailed
by just tw o, 11-13 and at the
half, the Cards were down
three, 22-25. Both team s
scored 14 in the third
sending them into the stretch
w ith the G olden Eagles
leading 39-36. W ith 7
minutes to go in the game,
the Cardinals took their first
lead since the very early
going, 40-39. The Cards
held that lead until Nixyawii
came back to tie the game at
53 with less than a minute to
go. Alan Rietmann went to
the free throw line with 7.7
seconds left but couldn't get
e ith e r shot to fall. Clay
Morter grabbed the rebound
of the second shot and was
fouled as he went back up,
sending him to the line with
4 seconds on the clock. He
hit the first of two, which
turned out to be the game
winning point as the Golden
Eagles didn't get a good shot
off in the time remaining.
Clay Morter led the
team in scoring with 20
points, on 9 of 13 shooting
from the floor. Matt Hams
added 14 and Kip Krebs had
ten. The team shot 40% (23
of 57) which was very close
to Nixyawii’s 38% (21-55.)
The Cards fought for
a 33-29 rebounding edge led
by Morter with 12 and Kip
Krebs with 11. Krebs had an
outstanding six offensive
rebounds.

Hams back to the floor after

first game of the season.
team in those areas
"This was a terrific
win for u s” said C oach
Dennis Stefani. “ Kip and
Clay played some very good
basketball for us on the
inside and our defense did a
good job of stopping their
fast break” Coach Stefani
also noted that it was great
to have Paul Hams back in
action.
On S atu rd ay at
Helix, nothing seemed to go
right for the Cardinals as
they fell behind early and
could never find the intensity
and emotion shown the night
before. The Cards trailed 4-
14 after one and 14-23 at the
half. Helix ran off a 26 point
third quarter to put the game
out of reach for lone. The
final score was 37-68.
Kip Krebs led the
Cardinal scoring with 15
points. Ju stin A rch er
followed w ith eight and Clay
M orter had six. The
C a rd in a l’s
sh o o tin g
percentage was just 29%
from the floor while Helix
had a good shooting night,
hitting 21 of 27 for 45%.
K rebs
led
the
rebounding effort with seven
but the Cardinals were out
rebounded 17-27 by the
Grizzlies.
“For as good as we
played the night before, we
followed it with a gamed that
we played looking tired,”
said Coach Dennis Stefani.
"I think we played ourselves
out mentally on Friday night.
We are a young team and are
going to have to learn to
appear the next night after a
huge win. The physical effort
was there but without the
mental game, the wheels fell
off."
He did note that
Helix did a good job being
patient on offense, getting a
shot off almost every trip
down the floor.
After week one, the
Cardinals are 2-1 in Big Sky
play and 6-3 overall.
