FORT HALL - Playing in its first home game of the season, the Sho-Ban boys' basketball team had balanced scoring and defeated North Gem 64-45.

Magic Smith led the Chiefs with 32 points, and recorded his first triple-double of the season with 10 steals and 13 rebounds, but seven other Sho-Ban players scored.

Alonzo Kobe even broke the double-digit mark with 10.

"That's the most balanced scoring effort we've had," Sho-Ban coach Merle Smith said. "If we can keep that up, we're really going to start improving."

Austin Wuttke led North Gem with 13 points.

With the win, Sho-Ban improved to 4-1. It next plays at Hagerman on Friday.
