Aggressive Summit cruises past Sisters, 68-33
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, December 18, 2013
Hitting its stride late in the second quarter, Summit blew past visiting Sisters on Tuesday night, topping the Outlaws 68-33 in nonconference boys basketball action.
Storm senior Chris Reeves recorded a game-high 15 points and junior Isaac Derman added four points and three steals during a game in which 11 different Summit players scored. The Storm (2-2) led 11-7 at the end of the first quarter before outscoring Sisters 19-7 in the second to take a 30-14 lead into the halftime break.
“We got going the last three or four minutes of the second quarter,” Summit coach Jon Frazier said. “Chris Reeves hit a couple big 3-pointers down the stretch.”
Reeves ended the night with three 3-point field goals and five rebounds.
Justin Harrer paced the Outlaws (0-4), who are off until after the holiday break, with eight points. Sisters managed just 13 field goals against the Storm and was only 3 of 5 from the foul line. Summit, meanwhile, registered 26 made field goals and went 11 of 14 from the free-throw line.
“That was a point of emphasis,” Frazier said about getting to the line. “Last week in Medford (in a pair of losses) we felt like we weren’t aggressive enough.”
