The St. Clair Colts took their home opener against the SCITS Blue Bombers Tuesday night, winning 51-36. The Colts held a large lead throughout the game, but the Bombers managed to score a lot of their points in the fourth quarter, although it was a little to late.

The Colts opened up the game with a 9-2 run, ending the quarter with a put back by Brandon Holmes for two. The Colts got the rebounds and got their shots to fall, while the Bombers had  issues controlling the play and getting good shots on net. The second quarter continued the good play for the Colts as Holmes would add two more baskets, while Tyson Maitland had a three ball and Denver Spearman had four quick points to put the Colts up 26-6 at the half.

In the third, the Colt offence continued as Jon Moffatt put in six points, while Kerrigan for the Bombers added four points of his own. The Colts left 42-19 after three, but the Bombers still had something left.

SCITS would outscore the Colts in the fourth 17-9, as Kerrigan added eight points including two three pointes, while the Bombers went on a 14-0 run to end the game. But it was a little late for the Bombers, as the lead the Colts had built throughout the game was enough to take the victory.

The Colts will travel to the Vikings on Thursday, while the Blue Bombers have Thursday off.
