Wyatt Maize hung 24 on Lamoni Thursday, December 18th as the Shamrocks weathered a shooting barrage by the Demon squad in the first half and pulled away in the second to win 62-43.
Peyton Scott hit an NBA triple for Lamoni to put them up 7-4 early, but Wyatt Maize scored off a drive, Jensen Davis got a putback, and Gage Fortner hit a 3-pointer to put the Shamrocks up 11-7. But then Scott started controlling the game, hitting long threes, and finding the open man when he was covered as the Demons powered ahead. Coltin Vasey put them into the lead at 17-15, and then Scott's third NBA triple of the quarter put them up 22-18 after one.
But then Wyatt Maize heated up for the Shamrocks, getting 15 out of his 24 points in the second quarter and shooting them into the lead by the half. Maize hit a 3-pointer, Ethan Henson got on the board for another, and Maize scored off a Ryker Fortner steal to make it 26-25 before Kelan Stevenson got loose in transition and Scott got open again for an NBA triple, his fourth, to put Lamoni up 30-26.
The Shamrocks kept coming as Andrew Craig got on the board from inside, Wyatt Maize hit a free throw and then added a 3-pointer to put the Shamrocks back in front 32-30. Maize finally put the Shamrocks up five with a triple from the top of the key to make it 38-33.
The score was stuck there for the first four minutes of the third quarter before Cody Burton scored for Lamoni to break the drought and make it 38-35. But Ethan Henson hit his second triple and Gage Fortner added another to make it 44-35. But Fortner, who had been hot in the first quarter, picked up his third foul and the Demons started chipping away, getting their deficit down to 47-40 after three.
But Andrew Craig got a free throw, Jensen Davis got a pullup, Gage Fortner came back and hit a 3-pointer, and Wyatt Maize got a putback to make it 55-40 with 5:22 left.
