Noah Olson scored a game high 17 points to lead the Noah Classical Academy Knights to a 65-19 win over the Groves Academy Griffins Friday night in St. Louis Park.
Olson began the scoring for the Knights :33 into the game. Max Bilcik hit a three pointer to put the Griffins ahead and Isaiah Boudreaux would counter for Nova. There would be a bright spot for Groves Academy when Malik Bodden's basket would give them the lead. But that would be the only lead for the Griffins that night as the Knights would go on a 24 point run that would include a three point play from Olson, who would hit from various spots on the court. Shae Nelson would also contribute to Nova's gigantic run with a couple of three pointers. Jack Lowe, who got the start for Groves Academy in place of Max Greseth, who was in Washington, DC attending the Presidential Inauguration, would score to end Nova's run. The Knights led at halftime 42-10.
The second half got off to a good start for the Griffins when Bilcik opened the scoring :10 into the half. But could shooting and foul trouble would plague Groves Academy as they lost Bodden on fouls and they scored only nine second half points. The Knights would also get production from their bench players as they would score 16 points. Groves Academy as well as Nova cleared their benches and gave the reserve players some playing time.
Other players in double figures for the Knights were Boudreaux with 16 points and Nelson with 10. Bilcik led the Griffins with nine points.
Nova improved their record to 7-6 and returns to action Saturday, January 21 at 3:30 PM against the Christ's Household of Faith Lions at the Salvation Army gym in St. Paul. Groves Academy fell to 1-12 and begins a two game road trip on Tuesday, January 24 against the Christian Life Academy Hawks in Farmington at 6:30 PM.
