L-A’s Neeck surpasses 1,000pts in win

Last night, KFIL broadcasted the boy's basketball game between Kingsland and Lewiston-Altura. The final score was 55-35 in favor of the Cardinals. The Knights struggled with shooting all night long, and the Cardinals shared the ball exceptionally. Senior Cullen Neeck of the Cardinals entered needing 13 for 1,000 career points. He had eleven at the half, and quickly reached the milestone in the second stanza.

The “Player of the Game” awards went to Neeck of the Cardinals with a game-high 21, and Zach Buchholtz of the Knights, who led their team with 9 points.

The “Game Ball” was awarded to Spencer Speltz of the Cardinals (8 points, 5 assists).
