Enterprise downs Elgin

ELGIN — The Enterprise boys basketball team jumped on Elgin early Saturday, and never let up cruising to a 70-53 victory in Blue Mountain Conference play.

Elgin had trouble keeping its starters on the court due to foul trouble, and Enterprise took full advantage, putting up 26 points in the fourth quarter to close out the game.

“We’ve had trouble with a lack of focus this season,” Elgin head coach Casey Hallgarth said. “We practice really well, but for some reason we just freeze up during games.”

Enterprise got a team-high 18 points from Jared Micka, while Jacob Gurtz chipped in with 12 points.

Elgin’s Dalton Moore finished with 20 points in the losing effort, and Robin Stone had 14 points.
