The CAM Cougars played a tight game with the Stanton Vikings on Tuesday night at St. Albert High School but couldn’t make enough plays down the stretch in a 62-57 Viking victory. The game was tight early and tied at 18 at the end of the first quarter. Stanton pulled away a bit at the end of the half and led 33-27 at the break. The Vikings lead was 45-38 by the end of the third. The Cougars tied the game at one point of the fourth quarter 52-all but the Vikings grabbed the lead right back and built a six point lead with around a minute to go. The Cougars cut it to three on a Nic Holste triple and then sent Stanton to the line for a one-and-one try. Easton Blunt missed the free throw but the Cougars failed to get the rebound and Stanton wound down some time until Donnie Weis was fouled. Weis sunk two free throws to ice the victory.

CAM got a huge night from Senior Thomas Hensley as he dropped in 31 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and had 2 steals. Nic Holste had 13 in his final outing as a Cougar as well. CAM ends their season with a record of 16-6.

Stanton was led by 21 point nights for both Drake Johnson and Donnie Weis. Dillion Rocha was just shy of a double-double with 8 points and 11 rebounds. Stanton improves to 21-1 and they will move on to the District 14 Final against St. Albert on Thursday night at 7:00pm at Riverside High School.
