In the end, the game turned out to be a comfortable win, but early on it was anything but. The visiting team came out in the first half with a good game plan and a bit of a hot hand, particularly guard Jaelin Llewellyn, who was getting another start for injured Dug McDaniel. Jaelin had twelve points at the break and finished with 18 to lead um. It took a bit of a breakout performance from Jaden Akins to keep the Spartans within range, as they trailed by only two at halftime.
The second half was an old-fashioned butt-kicking clinic which, if I’m being honest, was what I was expecting from the whole game.
