Mt. Edgecumbe Boys Fall To Soldotna

By KLAS STOLPE
Sentinel Staff Writer
    The Mt. Edgecumbe High School boys basketball team opened their Saturday road game with an 18 point first quarter outburst, but then went slack in a 50-36 loss to the Soldotna Stars.
    “We had a good first quarter,” Mt. Edgecumbe coach Archie Young said. “Then we just hit a wall. A very big wall.”
    Senior Bear Brown (Anchorage), junior Jonathan Constantine (Tok), and sophomore Leon Toomer (Kotzebue) all found the basket from behind the arch in the first eight minutes of play as the Braves led 18-16.
    The Stars found deep shots as well, getting points from Menehi Rich, Ray Chumley and Jersey Truesdell to keep pace.
    Soldotna continued that pace into the second quarter, outscoring Mt. Edgecumbe 13-6 for a 29-24 advantage at the half.
    Soldotna scored 13 and 11 points in the final two quarters while Mt. Edgecumbe hit for 6 points in each of the stanzas.
    “I felt like it was fatigue and lack of court time,” Young said. “We became very stagnant and had no energy. We had a good start, came out shooting the ball well. Then we just went flat. No energy, no enthusiasm and we struggled from that point on. It’s good to be back in Sitka, though, so we can get back in to practice and start working on improving.”
    Brown led Mt. Edgecumbe with 13 points, Toomer added 9, Constantine 5, sr. Cyprienn Johnson-Edwards (Emmonak) 4, sr. Emmett Dunaway (Dillingham) 3, and so. RJ Alstrom-Beans (St. Mary’s) 2.
    The Braves hit 3-8 at the charity stripe, the Stars were 12-18.
    Mt. Edgecumbe had five 3-point goals (Toomer 3, Constantine, Brown), Soldotna hit six (Chumley 3, Truesdell 2, Rich).
    Truesdell led Soldotna with 18 points, Chumley added 15, Zach Hanson 7, David Michael 5,  Rich 3, and Tyler Morrison 2.
    Mt. Edgecumbe had 12 team fouls, Soldotna 15.
    The Braves travel to the Barrow Invitational next weekend. Teams competing include the host Whalers, the undefeated Valdez Buccaneers, and the one-loss Anchorage Christian School Lions.
    “Hopefully some conditioning this next week will help us going into the Barrow tournament,” Young said. “We will see Barrow, Valdez and ACS. ACS and Valdez are pretty much assumed to be the top teams in the state.”
