STEPHENVILLE (January 19, 2016) — There is a reason ESPN’s mega-popular SportsCenter stops and pays special attention there is a triple-double in major college basketball or the NBA.

Because at most levels, they are rare, prized feats.

There has been exactly one – at least only one made public by coaches – by area high school athletes this hoops season, and it belongs to Colbe Stoker, a senior from Lingleville.

Stoker collected 12 points, 10 assists and 10 steals to help Lingleville overrun Gordon 62-23 Tuesday evening. He achieved the triple-double in just 23 minutes of action as Lingleville was in control from the onset.

The Cardinals 11-3 after the first and 27-10 at intermission. They really blew it open with a 21-6 margin in the third.

Stoker was one of three Cardinals to score in double figures. Tim Griffin tallied 16 points, seven boards and five assists, and Jarod Hagood collected 14 points and seven boards.

The Cards also received eight points from Tom VanKranenburg, five from Sergio Rangel, three from Bret Cogburn and two each from Parker Hallmark and Meine Huisman.
