SACRED HEART BOYS BASKETBALL CRUISES PAST CLIMAX-FISHER

The Sacred Heart Eagles Boys Basketball team used three big runs throughout the game to beat the Climax-Fisher Knights 85-47 in the final game of the Sacred Heart Christmas Tournament.

FIRST HALF-
It was a good back-and-forth battle at the start, with ties at 5 and 7 points. Sacred Heart took over the game the rest of the way by going on an 11-0 run behind five points from Greg Downs, and the Eagles had an 18-7 lead with 12 minutes left in the half. Climax-Fisher battled back to get within a 20-13 deficit, only to have Sacred Heart answer with a 12-0 run with Jacob Satterlund scoring the first basket of the run, followed by five points from Parker Erickson, a Downs basket before Jacob Ortiz capped the run with a three-pointer for a 32-13 lead. Sacred Heart led 39-26 with four minutes remaining when they finished the half on a 16-5 run with six different players scoring to take a 55-31 lead into halftime. With five minutes left in the half, Climax-Fisher’s Ethan Evitts scored the 1,000th point of his career.
The one halftime stat that Sacred Heart wasn’t happy with was the 10 of 20 shooting at the free throw line.  

SECOND HALF –
Climax-Fisher started the second half strong with a three-pointer from Branson Solheim and a Ryan Morris basket to get within a 55-36 deficit. Sacred Heart slowly built on their lead and had a 70-43 lead with 12:34 left in the game. Sacred Heart blew the game open with a 10-1 run with five points from Isaac Ortiz, a three-pointer by Sawyer Horken, and a basket from Satterlund for an 80-44 lead. The clock started running with nine minutes left in the game, and both teams played everybody that dressed, and Sacred Heart cruised to an 85-47 victory. 

Sacred Heart improves to 8-1 on the year and will take on the Northern Freeze on Tuesday in a big Section 8A matchup. Climax-Fisher drops to 1-8 on the year.
