The Sturgis boy’s basketball team’s highly anticipated home opener against Nantucket on December 10 ended in disappointing fashion as the Storm were defeated 48-29.
In front of a large, excited home crowd, Sturgis’s starting five - made up of sophomore Jacob Tobey, juniors Luke Chevalier and Mitchell Starr, and seniors Kyle Garvey and Aidan Fitzsimons - had trouble finding a good rhythm in the game. Chevalier led the offense with 15 points, 4 assists and 4 steals, followed by Tobey with 8 points and 4 assists and Garvey with 8 points and 4 rebounds.
Tobey helped to explain the lack of offense in the game: “We turned the ball over a lot and our heads weren't in the game because we got frustrated with the refs.” This frustration reached its peak in the 3rd quarter, when Mitchell Starr was given a technical foul after being accused of slamming his hand on a bench chair.
Despite a subpar offense, the Storm stopped Nantucket from taking full control of the game and played fairly well on the defensive half. Aidan Fitzsimons collected 5 rebounds and a couple steals, while freshman Kyle Coolidge was very solid in 10 minutes to mark his Sturgis debut.
The Storm are now 0-1 to start the season, but they will look to get a win in their second game next week at Falmouth Academy.
