Seminole stuns Lakewood

Seminole sent the shock heard ‘round the county Friday night.
The Warhawks, hosting undefeated Lakewood, led the game from start to finish to beat the Spartans, 55-44.
Seminole guard Bill Hobach scored a team-high 21 points – including three huge 3s in the first half -- as Seminole (3-5) upset Lakewood, ranked No. 3 in the state 5A coming into the matchup.
“It was one of those magical evenings where all the kids responded,” Seminole coach Bill Barnett said. “A tremendous win.”
Lakewood senior guard Ed Nixon sat out for the second straight game with a sprained ankle. Anthony Dorsey led the Spartans (7-1) with 23 – but he was the lone Lakewood player in double figures. Seminole slowed the game down in the first half, trying to eat up as much of the clock as they could. Lakewood changed the pace the second half, but could only get as close as 3 in the fourth.
“We came out flat, flat, flat,” Lakewood coach Daniel Wright said. “It was a total team collapse tonight.”
