The top-ranked Crusaders have sputtered through long stretches and haven’t been able to put teams away until late. But those trends turned into distant memories Tuesday night. St. Mary’s exploded for a season-high 31 points in the first quarter en route to a 67-36 thumping of visiting Cascade Christian in an SCL boys basketball game. Sophomore Garrett Fiddler, a 6-foot-8 post, scored 11 of his game-high 21 points in the opening period and junior guard Richie Kaimie broke out of a recent funk with 12 points on 6 of 7 shooting. "We came out and jumped them," said first-year St. Mary’s coach Rick Jackson. "We’ve been struggling offensively. We sort of made it a point to focus on executing on offense. Advertisement "The biggest thing is we just made some shots." Kaimie and senior James Kulig also sparked St. Mary’s (10-1, 3-0 SCL) on the defensive side. "I thought Kulig did a nice job on (Josh) Heidegger, their leading scorer," said Jackson. "(Kulig’s defense) was really important for us so we could get out and run. "Kaimie plays real good defense and kinda gets us going. He gave us a big lift tonight." The Challengers (7-6, 1-2 SCL) never could recover from the first-quarter onslaught. "Teams have to pick their poison with us," said Jackson. "We’re open (on the perimeter) because people want to double and triple down on Garrett. It makes it really tough to have to come out and guard us when our shots are falling." Kulig had three steals and scored 12 points on 4-for-6 shooting. Andrew Shipley picked up the pace for Cascade Christian with a team-high 13 points. CASCADE CHRISTIAN (36) — Sha 0, A. Shipley 13, D.
