Hot-shooting Spartans dominate East Marshall

LeGRAND – The Grundy Center boys’ basketball team shot a season-best 67 percent from the field on its way to a 70-48 victory over East Marshall Friday in North Iowa Cedar League West Division play.
The Spartans, who entered the game shooting less than 40 percent from the field, hit 29 of their 43 shots, including 29-of-39 before their second wave of reserves came in late in the fourth quarter.
“We’ve been executing our offense really well the last two, three weeks and tonight the shots were getting there,” Spartan coach Rollie Ackerman said. “We had size advantage inside and we were able to work the ball around. Because of that they had to collapse so much that things opened up (outside).”
