take fourth at State
The Summit Academy Patriots ran into a buzzsaw in their opening round game at State but rallied back with a pair of wins to earn the Consolation Trophy, equivalent to fourth place, at the 1A-D2 State Tournament at Caldwell High School. It is the school’s first ever state trophy in boys competition. They had reached the third place game in 2014 and the consolation final in 2009 but lost both of those games. They lost to eventual state champion Dietrich 47-78 in their opener then beat District 2 foe Kendrick 62-45 in the consolation semifinals before beating Rockland 51-47 to win the consolation trophy. 
and at 4-3 after a lay-up by Chris Osborne on an inbounds play.
Dietrich then went on a 0-10 run to take control of the game. The Blue Devils wound up leading 10-23 by the end of the first quarter and 22-42 at the half. Dietrich hit the boards hard, often limiting Summit to just 1 shot attempt. Dietrich also didn’t waste any time on the offensive end, often getting a shot up within 5-10 seconds and scoring on transition every chance they got. Dietrich also used the 3-pointer to great effect, hitting 8 of 16 in the game, 4 of them in each half. Due to Dietrich’s fast pace, Summit had a lot of offensive possessions as week but struggled with their shooting, hitting just 4 of 13 attempts in the first quarter and 6 of 19 in the second. Summit was able to get within 10 in the second quarter at 14-24 and within 11 at 18-29 but Dietrich then put together a 0-13 run that put them up 18-42. Tyler Krogh scored twice late in the half to get the Patriots within 20 at the half, 22-42. Summit got 6 points inside from Chmelik in the third quarter and shot a little better but still were outscored by 10 in the quarter as Dietrich took a 30-point lead into the fourth. Dietrich then scored the first 8 of the fourth quarter to up their lead to 34-72 before finally slowing down the pace and emptying their bench. Chmelik wound up with 14 points to lead the Patriots in scoring with Tyler Krogh scoring 12, Chris Osborne 10 despite foul trouble, Jake Stubbers 6, Dylan Krogh 3 and Dean Stubbers 2. Summit was outrebounded 41-53 with Osborne pulling down 13 and Chmelik 10. Tyler Krogh had 2 steals and 4 assists while Dean Stubbers added 3 assists.
