The 2023-24 Senior Boys Basketball Spartans are back on the court, playing in the RSEQ Division 4 league. Last season, the Spartans finished the season in second place with a 10-2 record.
The teams played a back-and-forth first quarter which ended 12-10 in the Spartans’ favour. The stingy second quarter allowed only 10 total points, with Stanstead gaining 8 and Gray merely 3 for a 19-13 halftime score with SC leading. The third quarter saw much more scoring (30 total points with Gray accounting for 17 and the Spartans 13). The third quarter score was SC 32- GA 20. The Spartans, like the AC at LCC, went very cold during the latter part of the third and throughout the fourth. In fact, during that time (from the 32-21 score onward), Gray went on a 17-2 run. Those 2 points were also SC's ONLY 2 points in the entire fourth quarter, while Gray chipped in 13. Final score GA 43 - SC 34.
The BCS Bears started the game with a 7-0 run but, after being on our heels until the 10-2 point, we began to compete, resulting in a 14-10 first quarter score in BCS's favour. Stanstead won the second quarter 11-7 despite BCS scoring a buzzer-beater to conclude the half with a 21-21 tie. The third quarter saw the Spartans outscore the Bears 11-8 for a 32-29 lead after three periods.
Our first game of the season was played on Saturday November 18 morning the first of a two-game exhibition series with St Laurent Academy (SLA) from Ottawa. After scoring the first three buckets of the game (and the first Spartan baskets of the season) the two teams each had a good run to carry the teams to a 16-16 first quarter score and a 32-31 score with SC lead at the half.
This student-athlete from Stanstead, Quebec is a leader on and off the court. A member of the senior boys (white) basketball team, Chaz is intense, focused and coachable. Midway through the game versus BCS on Saturday, Chaz was tasked with guarding their best scorer, and, unsurprisingly, held his opponent to zero points for the rest of the game. In the first league game on the road, Chaz dominated the inside posting a double-double: scoring 12 points and pulling down 10 rebounds.
Bonjour mes amis de basket.I am a little behind on my write-ups so, in this issue of “Duane’s Diary”, I will combine our last four contests into one great big beautiful report. Here we go!
Stanstead 48 vs Richmond (2) 40 Challenged by tired legs and weary minds, from the opening tip I could tell that this was going to be a tough one for us.
