Stoga was able to hold a 14-11 lead after one thanks to 2 Shane Scott three’s and some hard earned points in the paint.

But paced by Milton Robinson’s 3 makes from three-point range, Stoga jumped out to a 19-14 lead.

On a rare Thursday night game in the Central League, Stoga jumped all over a very young and winless Springfield squad in route to a 20-5 first quarter lead.

The second half saw the entire squad getting some playing time and getting into the scorebook as the Pioneers made easy work of Springfield and cruised to the easy 64-29 victory. Leading scorers were Zach Lezanic (14) and Milton Robinson (13).

Zach drained a couple of 3 pointers to go along with 6 pts. on tough drives to the Read more…
