Creek Valley junior Patrick Hansen puts up two points during recent action. Creek Valley defeated Minatare 60-to-33 on Saturday.
Creek Valley's Storm boy's basketball team entered 2019 determined to play with more consistency, and started the new year off on the right foot with a convincing 60-to-33 victory over Minatare at home Saturday.
The Storm started off the contest fast, scoring quickly while shutting down the Minatare offense and building a 14-to-2 lead at the end of the first period of play. Minatare roared back in the second period, taking advantage of Storm miscues and threatening to erase the home team's lead, but the Storm battled back and got their offense back on track to go into the half up by a score of 31-to-15.
Miantare came back from the break determined and continued to score against Creek Valley's solid defense, but could not stop the Storm offense from scoring and increasing their lead.
The Storm doubled up on the Indians scoring in the fourth, cruising to an easy 60-to-33 victory to improve their season record to 4-and-5. Seniors Sam Grabowski and Garrett Sawyer had 19 and 15 points respectively in the Creek Valley victory.
Creek Valley was scheduled to face Haxtun on Tuesday.
