Game Details - Boys Basketball

Coming into Friday’s game, the Spartans were on a two-game losing streak, each by the identical score of 59-57. Determined to end the streak and defend homecourt, the Spartans jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, upsetting Skyline 64-56. The Eagles were streaking traveling to Murray, having won eight straight games and eyeing the top spot in region six. It was the Spartans, however, that had all the momentum in the game, quickly turning a two point first quarter advantage into an 11 point halftime lead. The Spartan’s defense was key to the running, holding Skyline's high-octane offense to a mere four points in the second. Chudi Anosike continued his fantastic play this season, tallying 19 points to lead Murray. Skyline’s Yorgio Golesis chipped in 25 for the Eagles in the loss. “I was really proud with how hard and smart we defended. They have two of the best shooters around and we didn't let them get going and limited offensive rebounds,” Murray coach Jason Workman said. “We feel great about our performance.”
