Doerrfeld Promotions’ Terrence Lewis maintained his consistency Thursday. The freshman scored 29 points and snagged nine rebounds.
Game 2: Sparta Waste Services 142, Hinterland 12.
The second game of the night was a high-scoring shootout.

Shayok’s teammate, Cameron Lard, carried some of the load, as well. Lard recorded a double-double, scoring 21 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
Hinterland cut the deficit to single digits late in the game, but an authoritative Cameron Lard dunk sealed the win for Sparta Waste Services.
Hinterland’s Donovan Jackson flirted with a triple-double. Jackson tallied 44 points, seven rebounds, and six assists.
Game 3: Des Moines Outreach Lions Club 121, JayTees Apparel 117
The final regular season game was a nail biter. JayTees five man team came up just short of securing its first win of the Cap City League.
Nick Weiler-Babb shouldered most of the load for JayTees Apparel. Weiler-Babb finished with a triple-double. Weiler-Babb led the game in points (45) and assists (13).
Des Moines Outreach Lions Club did have its top pick, Lindell Wigginton, in the building. Wigginton sat out as a precautionary. Wigginton suffered a concussion in the FIBA U19 Tournament, but he competed later on after the concussion.
