From that point on, his Demon teammates came to the forefront as Glenwood ran away from the Weld Central Rebels by a score of 55-30 in a Saturday afternoon 4A state playoff basketball matinee at the Chavez-Spencer Gymnasium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> \u201cI didn\u2019t really try to take control of things at the beginning,\u201d Iuele said. \u201cMy team found me, and it just came off that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sophomore guard Blake Nieslanik helped Iuele out with a steal and a driving layup, as the Demons held a 10-5 lead after the first period was complete. It was the second quarter of the contest where Glenwood decided to take control of things for good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Senior post A.J. Adams scored on a follow shot and fellow senior Adam Schrader hit a layup off a lengthy assist from Iuele. Seniors Will Narvaez and Mitchell Burt then stepped to the plate and gave the Demons an offensive boost. Narvaez hit a jumper and Burt notched a tandem of 3-pointers, the latter coming just before the sounding of the intermission horn, to give Glenwood a 17-6 second quarter scoring advantage and put them on top of the scoreboard at 27-11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI just got the shots and I was able to hit them today,\u201d a confident Burt said. \u201cI give credit to my teammates for finding me. We\u2019re just getting started in these playoffs. The best is yet to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Demons continued giving it their best in the second half by outscoring the Rebels 16-2 in the third period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Burt scored on a jump shot and Adams put in a banker from inside the key on a no-look feed from Iuele. Sophomore guard Aiden Nieslanik got into the scoring act with a twisting and spinning layup to give Glenwood a lead of 43-13 at the end of three.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With several Demons holding a hot hand, and with the rebounding of Narvaez, Adams and Schrader, Weld Central had little chance of overcoming a 30-point deficit with 8 minutes to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> \u201cCoach (Heisel) always tells me and the rest of the bigs that we need to control the boards,\u201d said Narvaez. \u201cIf I\u2019m not getting the rebound, then I\u2019m blocking out so someone else on my team can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Senior forward Patrick Young got into some first half foul trouble for Glenwood, limiting his usual productive offensive output. Young still managed to jump into the fray with key contributions on the defensive end of the court and in the rebounding department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Western Slope League champion Demons got several reserves valuable game experience in the final quarter. Sophomores Reid Swanson and Stevie Vega each got baskets, and junior guard Alec Nykerk floated in a jump shot and scored on a drive to the basket, as Glenwood hardly missed a beat with the starters watching from the bench.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cToday\u2019s experience was very beneficial for us younger guys,\u201d Nykerk said. \u201cWe have some big shoes to fill next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Following the lopsided contest, Demons coach Fred Heisel was very pleased with his team\u2019s efforts on the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe played great defense, especially Mitchell Burt. We controlled the boards and kept them off the free throw line. It\u2019s a team effort and everyone is contributing,\u201d Heisel said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Iuele had 13 points, Burt came through with 12 points and Adams contributed nine points for the Demons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Glenwood (21-3), the No. 2 seeded team in class 4A, will be at home again at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the state playoffs\u2019 round of 16, facing No. 15 Green Mountain, 50-46 winners over Centaurus Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/preps\/demons-advance-in-boys-4a-playoffs-with-55-30-win-over-weld-central\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glenwood\u2019s AJ Adams battles for the rebound against Weld Central\u2019s Kevin Shaffer during first quarter action Saturday in Glenwood Springs.
