CAMBRIDGE - The Glarner Knights opened their Capitol South season with a bang Thursday, rolling past Cambridge 56-40.
New Glarus opened the game on a 16-5 run and led 35-18 at halftime.
"We talked about getting out to a quick start, and that's just what the guys did," New Glarus coach Travis Sysko said. "I'm proud of them."
Tyler Dorn and Ryan Bright led the way with 12 points a piece. Cameron Jeglum and Nick Stuessy each scored 10, giving New Glarus four players in double figures.
But it wasn't the offense that impressed Sysko so much as it was the defense.
"Defensively we took it to (Cambridge) and created turnovers," he said.
Darlington 69, Boscobel 33
DARLINGTON - The Redbirds dominated throughout the game Thursday, leading 18-3 after the first quarter and 36-8 at halftime.
"This was the first game we finally played a full four quarters, which we have been stressing to do," Darlington head coach Mike Hopkins said. His squad scored 23 points in the third and 10 in the fourth.
"We had been waiting until the second half to kick it into gear, and we didn't do that tonight."
Alex Erickson scored 20 points for Darlington and Jason Boll added 14. Eleven of the Redbirds' 15 players put points on the board.
Barneveld 54, Albany 33
ALBANY - A young Comets team found itself in a heated contest with the state's third-ranked team in Division 4, Thursday. The two squads were tied up 10-10 at the half and Barneveld led 35-26 after three quarters.
"We stayed with them for three-and-a-half quarters," Albany head coach Derik Doescher said. "In the fourth, we got outscored due to typical Barneveld pressure. They played man-to-man against us all game and they took a toll on us at the end, getting a bunch of transition points."
Boomer Detra and Bryce Hulbert scored nine points each for Albany. Logan Johnson led the Eagles with 18.
