After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Shelton, Silver Lake was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They blew past Meridian 52-29. Silver Lake has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight games by 22 points or more this season.
Leading Silver Lake to victory were Landon Duester and Lane Conway. Duester went 6-for-11 to rack up 17 points and eight boards, while Conway shot 46% from the field en route to 13 points and five rebounds. Duester is also on a roll when it comes to shooting accuracy, as he's posted one of at least 55% in the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Beau Bonifas, who went 5-for-10 on his way to 12 points.
Silver Lake smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 14 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in 12 consecutive matches.
Meridian's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Beau Bartels, who posted nine points, and Chase Schafer, who had eight points. Those nine points gave Bartels a new career-high.
Silver Lake is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 51.4 points over those games. Meridian dropped their record down to 2-20 with the defeat, which was their eighth straight on the road.
Silver Lake has already played their next game, a 56-40 victory against Lawrence-Nelson on the 27th. Meridian does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
