Game 2: Sparta Waste Services 111, Des Moines Outreach Lions Club 108

Cap City League saw a new face for the first time.

Lindell Wigginton made his debut.

Wigginton provided a boost to his squad throughout the game, stuffing the stat sheet.

Wigginton contributed 36 points, nine rebounds, six assists, three steals, and two blocks.

The five-star recruit also showcased his athleticism. In the first half, Wigginton viciously rejected a Marial Shayok shot attempt.

Later in the half, Wigginton soared by defenders on a putback attempt and slammed it through the hoop.

In the second half, Wigginton’s mid-range game started to heat up. Wigginton nailed multiple jump shots in a row, while maintaining his gritty defense.

Wigginton had the championship game on his mind, but Shayok and Cameron Lard had other ideas.

Lard finished the night with 25 points and 13 rebounds. Shayok had 44 points and seven rebounds.
