  A lot if written about Anders Broman of Lakeview Christian Academy and that is rightfully so as the junior scoring machine is about to obliterate scoring records in the state. After Broman scored 40 points, and his Lions beat South Ridge 96-56 on Tuesday night, the Panthers got a firsthand look at the entire LCA team which is a very solid unit.

  It is said there is nothing so meaningless than the first quarter score in an NBA game; because finding a winner always comes down to the end of the game. When South Ridge traveled to Hill City on Friday night, the effort and the individual stanzas weren’t meaningless by any stretch; but the first half, second half, and first overtime period scores were exactly the same and did not determine a winner. A never say die South Ridge team managed to outscore Hill City 6-3 in the second overtime to pick up the huge 61-58 road in on Friday night.
