2012 Hoisington Winter Jam: Hoisington vs Minneapolis Boys

For a second year in a row, the Minneapolis Lions took on their hosts, the Hoisington Cardinals, at the 2012 Hoisington Winter Jam.

The two squads that stepped on the floor were different from last year’s and it showed in the end. Hoisington’s #4 Cody Stetler showed his dominance early on with blocked shots and a dunk. Fouls limited his playing later on, but by that time the game was in the Cardinals hands. The final score ended at 49 to 37 with the hosts being crowned Champions.

Below are some of the pictures I took at the game:
