The Rapid City Central boys basketball team used a second-half surge to dominate Sturgis on Tuesday in Naasz Gymnasium..
After a subpar shooting performance in the first half, leading by 13 at the break, the Cobblers hit a plethora of shots in the second, outscoring the Scoopers 39-13 for a 70-31 victory.
âWe didnât shoot the ball really well in the first half, and we let that determine how we played defensively,â Central head coach TJ Hay said. âBut I thought we bounced back and did a good job in the second half.â
Micah Swallow scored 14 points in the second half and finished with a double-double for the Cobblers with 20 points on 8 of 20 shooting and 11 rebounds. Kohl Meisman tallied 13 first-half points and ended with 19 on 8 of 15 shooting, and Julian Swallow added nine points, four assists and four steals. Ryker Henne also hauled in 11 boards.
