Caledonia Tops Lewiston-Altura

Tuesday night on KFIL, we brought you a 1AA Section Quarterfinal! Caledonia defeated Lewiston-Altura by a score of 83-56. The Warriors will play again on KFIL on Saturday, taking on Pine Island at 11:00 AM!

The early going was all Caledonia. The Warriors jumped out to a 10-2 lead, with a 3-pointer, a 3-point play, and good long passes for open looks. The first 6 points for Lewiston-Altura were scored by Bradley Miller. Caledonia pushed the ball off of turnovers and off of inbounds plays after Cardinal scores. Lewiston-Altura kept chipping back at the Caledonia lead, but the Warriors went on 7-0 run to close the half, and their lead was 43-24 at the break.

The Warriors played tight defense all night long, coming up with some big steals and ripping the ball away on defense. Though there was some early foul trouble in the second half for both sides, Caledonia was able to pull away for the 83-56 victory.
