Fremont varsity boys earned a hard fought victory vs Sparta in the second round of districts on Wednesday night 47-44. It seems like every time Sparta and Fremont play it ends up being a great game, and tonight was no exception. I thought both teams played extremely hard the whole game and it was a great back and forth contest. Sparta led by one after the first quarter 14-13. We played a great defensive second quarter and took a three point lead going into halftime 24-21. Sparta came back strong and played a great third quarter to take a 40-33 lead heading into the fourth. We challenged our kids to give everything they had left in the fourth quarter and that's exactly what they did. We outscored Sparta by 10 and held them to only four points in the final period. Sparta is a very good team and always a class act. We have a lot of respect for them and their coaching staff. I am so proud of how our kids battled and fought. We stuck together as a team and got our biggest win of the season. Chaz Miller led the way with 14 points, 8 assists and 3 steals. Kyler DeKuiper played his best game of the season finishing with 9 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal. Chaz and Kyler both played really well on the defensive end of the floor as well. Will DeBlake finished with 8 points, Ben Mellema finished with 7 points and 5 rebounds and Gavin Richards added 6 points and 6 rebounds.
