When Castle Rock started — and didn’t stop –hitting its 3-pointers, Stevenson opted to pound inside.
And pound. And pound.
The Bulldogs attempted 32 free throws and saw four players in double scoring in a win over Castle Rock.
“They shot a lot of 3s and we were continuously taking it to the basket,” Stevenson coach Kevin Edwards said.
Isaac Hoidal had 19 points to lead Stevenson, which helped mititage a 27-point outing from Connor Edwards.
The Bulldogs led by eight after the first quarter and kept a steady lead through much of the game’s remainder.
