The Summit Academy Patriots had a tough go of it at the State Tournament as they were ousted after just 2 games. They lost their opener to eventual state champion Carey 40-52 Thursday, March 5 at Caldwell High School and on Friday, March 6 they were eliminated by Logos 45-60 also at Caldwell High School. Carey continued to pull away in the second half outscoring the Patriots 8-12 in the third and 13-15 in the fourth. Tyler Krogh and Thomas Schwartz, who came off the bench, led the Patriots in scoring with 10 points each. Patrick Chmelik and Nathan Beckman added 6 points each while Josh Lustig scoring 4, Christopher Osborne 3 and Dean Stubbers 1. Rebounding is normally a Summit strong suit but they were outboarded 34-48 by the Panthers. Lustig had 8 to lead the Patriots with Chmelik adding 7. Stubbers and Krogh had 2 steals each while the official state statistics show no assists at all for the team. Summit was 15 for 51 from the field, 29%, and 5 for 9 at the line, 56%. Carey was 20 for 56 from the field, 36%, and 10 for 21 at the line, 48%.

For Summit it was the first time in four trips to state that they were unable to win a game. The game was even at the end of the first quarter at 15-15 but the second quarter was again the Patriots undoing as Logos outscored them 8-16 to take a 23-31 lead at the half. Logos kept it up in the third by outscoring the Patriots 7-14 and during the quarter Summit lost Krogh to a knee injury. Summit was down by 15 at 30-45 to start the fourth quarter. They had been in a similar spot in their league game at Logos when they overcame a 16 point deficit but it was not to be this time around as Logos matched Summit point for point in the fourth quarter to win by 15 points. Lustig led the Patriots in scoring with 12 points with Krogh adding 9, Chmelik and Osborne 8 each, Caleb Currier 3, Schwarz and Jacob Stubbers 2 each and Dean Stubbers 1.

The final 1A-D2 State Bracket. Megan Seubert earned 2nd place in Idaho for the Daughters’ of the American Revolution Scholarship contest. She presented this essay on February 21 and was awarded $50. Following is her essay: 
“Can we look back on our history and predict our future? Can we take the lessons we learned in the past in order to prevent the same mistakes from occurring in the future? Yes, indeed we can! History is one of the most essential subjects to learn because history does in fact repeat itself. “So what can our American history prepare us for in our upcoming future? It is important to understand our past and the way that our society operated at that certain point in history so that you can compare the events and people to our present time in order to predict the future. “During the American Revolution, when the revolutionists were fighting to succeed from Great Britain, all that they cared about was their freedom from the Parliament. The first generation citizens of the United States of America dedicated their entire life goals and aspirations to seeing that America was an independent and stable society, founded under God and free from the reign of Britain. “When our Founding Fathers established our nation, they formed the Constitution of the United States of America in which they inscribed a set of principles based upon one nation founded under God, independent from all other governments, and prided itself on the equal rights bestowed upon all of its citizens. “As John Adams once stated, “I must study politics and war so that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.” “John Adams was pleased to go through fire, war and politics just so that his sons, you and I, may live in a self-ruling nation and study whatever we like. “So now let us compare the past events to our present day. In today’s American society, our generation, especially the younger generation, takes our freedom for granted. We find it hard to recognize the price that was paid in order to have a nation where we attend college, to own a car or possess private property. But most importantly, we forget how we obtained those rights long, long ago at the establishment of our nation. Now our founding values are being overturned as if nothing is wrong and many of our citizens could care less even to call themselves an American or not. “If we continue to head in the direction of taking our freedom for granted, corroding our American values and not being proud of the American name, then soon and very soon all of the founding principles that were so difficulty grasped will vanish.” JV game starts at 6 p.m. unless indicated DECEMBER 6-vs. Logos at Highland, 3 p.m., lost 51-67 9-vs. Kendrick at Highland, won 59-50 10-at Salmon River, 5 p.m., won 67-53 15-vs. Nezperce at Highland, won 65-20 18-vs. Timberline at Highland, won 80-40 6-at Deary, won 59-28 14-at Lapwai, lost 59-78 15-at Highland (home game), won 68-57 in double overtime 20-at Lewiston JV, varsity only, 7 p.m., lost 41-71 22-at Nezperce, won 63-17 24-at Kendrick, won 58-41 27-at Timberline, won 57-34 30-vs. Potlatch at Highland, lost 55-61 5-vs. Deary at Highland, Senior Night, won 68-42 11-at Highland, won 49-30 12-at C.V., won 63-46 19-26-District at LCSC, beat Deary 75-40, beat Logos 69-57 to win District title March 5-7-State at Caldwell, lost to Carey 40-52, lost to Logos 45-60. |
