SARTELL - Noah Slagter scored 34 points and Drey Dirksen grabbed 17 rebounds but the individual performances weren't enough as Sartell's first half was enough for a 83-73 Central Lakes Conference victory on Tuesday.
Slagter was able to hit from all over the court but was especially hot from the free-throw line. He hit 13-of-14 from the charity stripe.
Sartell took a 46-36 lead going into the locker rooms and that was enough as both teams split the second half. The Sabres received help throughout the team as six players scored nine or more points and five players pulled in five rebounds.
