The Soldotna High School varsity boys basketball team went 2-1 during the Al Howard Shootout this past weekend.<\/p>\n

The boys lost a close battle against Ninilchik, 40-47, but rebounded to beat the Kenai Central High School Kardinals 56-48 in a hard-fought match-up. SoHi ended the tournament with a big win over Eagle River, 55-28.<\/p>\n

Notable performances included senior Jayden Stuyvesant, who returned to play from injury and led the team in scoring while playing very limited minutes. Junior Scottie Bieber was selected to the All-Tournament team and senior Bryan Berg won the free throw contest.<\/p>\n

SoHi is currently 7-7 overall and 1-1 in conference play. The Stars will face off against Colony in home games on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
